Astronomers find oldest known star with Earth-like planets

How cool! Best lines in the article…
“Astronomers can measure a distant planet’s age using a technique called asteroseismology, which measures the oscillations of the host star caused by sound waves trapped within it.
These waves lead to small pulses in the star’s brightness, which can be analyzed to measure its diameter, mass and age.”

Wow
