A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away.

In the beginning, the Universe contained almost no chemical elements other than hydrogen and helium.Yeah well, then there was humans and global warming.....

Well, maybe not so far far away, but it was a long time ago.
To: mkmensinger
This planetary system is 376 light years away

Galactically speaking, not all too far.

This star and its system had to be formed somewhere else.

“one of the earliest cosmic eras, from 13 billion years ago”
assuming “time” passed at the same rate as at present*
(See Einstein on Relativity for a discussion of the relationships between time, gravity, and space)

You may think that if our solar system is 4.5 billion years old then a 13 billions years old planetary system should be millions of lights years away...but they are saying it is only 376 lights years away?...Hard to believe...

It says it was formed somewhere else and this galaxy picked it up.

Exactly and it seems not to make sense since our sun is 4.5 billions years old you would expect that a 13 billions years old system should be millions of lights years away not 376 light years...I am not astronomer nor an astrophysicist but I like to see some scientific and logical explanation for this...

Astronomy, the Science with a lot of BS... Not all of it but a huge part of it is just BS...

Not a feeling. I have a bachelor of science in Physics and a master in Mechanical engineering and I am just applying scientific logic and analysis here... A lot of so called theories in astronomy do not make sense...
