"Surprisingly, it is very hard to pin down the age of a star", the lead author of the paper reporting the results, Anna Frebel, explains. "This requires measuring very precisely the abundance of the radioactive elements thorium or uranium, a feat only the largest telescopes such as ESO's VLT can achieve."
This technique is analogous to the carbon-14 dating method that has been so successful in archaeology over time spans of up to a few tens of thousands of years. In astronomy, however, this technique must obviously be applied to vastly longer timescales.
For the method to work well, the right choice of radioactive isotope is critical. Unlike other, stable elements that formed at the same time, the abundance of a radioactive (unstable) isotope decreases all the time. The faster the decay, the less there will be left of the radioactive isotope after a certain time, so the greater will be the abundance difference when compared to a stable isotope, and the more accurate is the resulting age.
Yet, for the clock to remain useful, the radioactive element must not decay too fast - there must still be enough left of it to allow an accurate measurement, even after several billion years.
"Actual age measurements are restricted to the very rare objects that display huge amounts of the radioactive elements thorium or uranium," says Norbert Christlieb, co-author of the report.
Large amounts of these elements have been found in the star HE 1523-0901, an old, relatively bright star that was discovered within the Hamburg/ESO survey [1]. The star was then observed with UVES on the Very Large Telescope (VLT) for a total of 7.5 hours.
A high quality spectrum was obtained that could never have been achieved without the combination of the large collecting power Kueyen, one of the individual 8.2-m Unit Telescopes of the VLT, and the extremely good sensitivity of UVES in the ultraviolet spectral region, where the lines from the elements are observed.
For the first time, the age dating involved both radioactive elements in combination with the three other neutron-capture elements europium, osmium, and iridium.
"Until now, it has not been possible to measure more than a single cosmic clock for a star. Now, however, we have managed to make six measurements in this one star"," says Frebel.
Ever since the star was born, these "clocks" have ticked away over the eons, unaffected by the turbulent history of the Milky Way. They now read 13.2 billion years.
The Universe being 13.7 billion years old, this star clearly formed very early in the life of our own Galaxy, which must also formed very soon after the Big Bang.

Rated 4 out of 5 by dani29 nice tights, not reversible I do like these tights, they fit nicely in my regular size. They are definitely not reversible. The tag is printed on the inside so cant be removed, the seams show the coloured side so looks messy and the crotch has obvious double layering which makes them look awkward and inside out. if you want them to wear only on the coloured side they are worth it. these are also the same print as the les mills version - buy these as they're cheaper and basically the same! 30/01/17
Rated 3 out of 5 by Mara3708 Looove the pattern! And didn't realise that it was too big until I wore it. Still, it's comfortable - just not perfect. 25/01/17
Rated 5 out of 5 by Kirsty61 Lovely material. Reversible too. Two for the price of one! 19/01/17
Rated 3 out of 5 by AvidYogi Average. Very average. These are different to what Reebok would usually make. They are slightly longer than their previous styles (Size: S) - and are a bit loose from the knee to the ankle. In my opinion, they are not reversible - as the tag is not inconspicuous and the sizing "tattoo" can be clearly seen on the waistband. The pattern is beautiful and flattering, and oddly the fabric is relatively thick. 19/01/17

This is a lovely find in Ubud. The batik is high quality and there are many different sizes and colours to see although indigo is their specialty. I found the staff very helpful and there was no pressure to buy but of course I did - a hand dyed indigo scarf that has already drawn several compliments.
Walked into Ikatbatik out of curiosity. What capture my eyes is that the indigo/blue batiks were gorgeously hanging on an empty hall way while men were renovating the front of the shop.
Upon reaching the back of the shop I came across a full size living area with beautiful batiks hanging on the walls. And that's not it, I was...
After days of weaving in and out of shops that all felt the exact same, we accidentally found this hidden gem on our walk about to the hotel. Everything is gorgeous, well made and unique. People complaining about price clearly don't buy interiors often.. these prices are affordable and you are paying for QUALITY. If you want something cheap, go...
The previous reviews are on point, this place is a pleasure to visit, and it's hard to resist buying some of the lovely pieces for sale. I was not specifically looking for Ikatbatik after reading the reviews, mostly because of the well-documented pricey-ness. But I stumbled on it after visiting the Sacred Monkey Forest, and thought I'd take a peek......
My husband loved this place and his wallet was much lighter when we left. The indigo batik prints are classy and quite beautiful. I'm not sure there is another place in Ubud with this kind of quality and selection. The building is under renovation, but it still looks amazing. It's expensive, but worth having a look even if you don't...
...however that didn't stop me from picking some up :). It's worth seeing the store, easily the most unique local products we saw in Ubud, and after such an unsuspecting entryway. The price was a bit steep, but I hate leaving a holiday without picking up something useful from the places I visit.
I wanted to come home with traditional Indonesian textiles and I found Ikatbatik through Trip Advisor. The shop is easy to find just around the corner from the Monkey Forest. The store fills 2 large rooms and the entrance walkway. The quality is very good and the selection is big. The prices are fixed but you do get a small...
This is a great shop. Suggest you don't go there if you don't like blue! The ikat is really high quality as everyone says and really light so you can carry lots!
I loved this shop, with textiles in blue, cream and white. I wanted to buy everything, but it was quite expensive, so only bought a table runner and a silk chiffon scarf. Now that I am back on the other side of the globe, I regret not having bought more from this shop. Hopefully be back sometime.
Service was very...
Beautiful store with a narrow opening lined with their wall hanging textiles leading to a courtyard with two show areas of textiles. One mainly for bedding and indigo dyed textiles and the other for textiles whose color is different from indigo and contains wearable items such as scarfs. I spent a good two hours here deciding on a wall-hanging textile...

Iftar and Suhoors Sustain Hotels in Ramadan
Published Date
UAE hotels are relying on food and beverage revenues from iftars and suhoors because of the decline in occupancy rates during Ramadan.
"The hospitality industry has always been accustomed to experiencing a drop in room occupancy during Ramadan, especially when it falls on summer season," said Syed Zulfiqar Mehdi, the sales director at Samaya Hotel Deira in Dubai.
But iftars and suhoors are helping to offset loss of room revenues. Rotana has reported a 5-10 % drop in occupancy this Ramadan, and the Fairmont Bab Al Bahr has reported lows in occupancy which it has been successfully compensating through iftars and suhoors.
In the Middle East in general, occupancy was down by 1.2 per cent to 59.4 per cent, while the average room rate was down 3.1 per cent to $162.16.

In the opening game of the round, the Wellington Saints had the chance to get one step closer to sharing the top spot with the Otago Nuggets as they took on the Hawke's Bay Hawks in Wellington.
The Saints lead by seven at halftime (47-40), but after a third quarter charge lead by Brian Greene and Paora Winitana, the undermanned Hawks levelled the scores at 64-all entering the fourth.
Import forward Darko Cohaderovic fouled out in the fourth with the Hawks trailing by six with five with five minutes remaining, and all hopes of a late comeback were extinguished.
The Saints bigs we dominant - Rick Rickert had 17 points and 14 rebounds in just 18 minutes while fellow import Bryant Markson added 19 points and 7 rebounds as the Saints scored their fifth consecutive victory, 92-80.
On Friday, the Waikato Pistons were in search of a second consecutive win against the SuperCity Rangers but a game that was very winnable for the Pistons got ugly fairly quickly.
The visitors took raced out to a 26-14 first quarter lead and with Garrius Holloman making just one of his first eleven shot attempts, the Pistons trailed by 14 at halftime with Rangers captain Houston O'Reilly making three of his five attempts from downtown.
Halfway through the third quarter, the struggling Holloman suddenly transformed into a basketball god and hit eight shots in a row to spark a comeback and bring the game within one point with five minutes left in the final quarter.
But the Pistons' and Holloman's amazing run came to an abrupt end, giving the Rangers their second win of the season and leaving the Pistons poised for the wooden spoon, despite another double-double from centre Zack Atkinson (14 points, 18 rebounds).
The Nuggets won their third straight, capitalising on a hot start to beat the Manawatu Jets. Otago Nuggets led 41-20 at the end of the first quarter and by 22 at the half before easing up late.
Their big three of Beny Anthony, Akeem Wright and Antoine Tisby proved too much for the Jet, despite strong offensive performances Chris Hagan, Marcel Jones and Nick Horvath, who scored 28, 27 and 21 respectively. The victors shot 61% from the field, including 13/23 from deep.
However, the Nelson Giants upset the Nuggets the following day to bolster their playoff standing.
The match was only separated by two points at halftime after another shining effort from Anthony, but the Giants always had an answer from either Josh Pace, Erron Maxey or Mika Vukona, with that trio combining for 60 points in an 87-82 win.
The Jets rebounded the next day against a woeful offensive display from the Hawks, who shot just 35%. Horvath continued his potential MVP form for the Jets, recording 23 points and 16 rebounds with 3 blocks. The Hawks had just 10 assists for the game, amazingly all belonging to Jarrod Kenny.
The big movers from round nine were the Southland Sharks, who won both matches on their two-game 2 road trip, extending their winning streak to four and helping solidify their place in the final four.
In their opener, the Sharks pulled away late from the Taranaki Mountain Airs with impressive import Brian Conklin, who converted 10 of his 15 shots while making 7 of 10 free throws to finish with 27 points.
The Airs were led by import Kenny Gabriel, who finished with 21 points and 11 rebounds, while veteran forward Link Abrams had another nice outing with a 20 points and nine boards.
Conklin and his team-mates maintained their momentum the next day against the Rangers, registering 25 points and 15 rebounds in an 82-69 win in which the Sharks and Rangers shot just 39% and 32% from the field respectively.
Player of the Week:
No surprises then that is week's prize goes to Conklin, who continues to make a strong case for the MVP award and is also playing a huge role in carrying the Sharks to a spot in the final four.
Stop Shooting:
Veteran Hawks swingman Paora Winitana is this week's bricklayer, despite what seemed like a respectable 9/22 for 20 points against the Saints. That's until you see that he shot 1/9 from three-point range, then continued his shooting woes against the Jets, connecting on just four of his fifteen attempts from the field.
A rough week for a player who was named to the All-NBL first team last year and will be looking to prove a point this week against the Pistons.
ROUND TEN (Predicted winners in CAPS):
Friday June 21
Sharks vs NUGGETS, Southland Stadium, 7pm
Pistons vs HAWKS, Hamilton Boys' High School, 6pm
SAINTS vs Rangers, TSB Stadium, 7pm
Saturday June 22
Hawks vs MOUNTAIN AIRS, Pettigrew Green Arena, 7pm
GIANTS vs Rangers, Trafalgar Centre, 7pm
Sunday June 23
JETS vs Pistons, Arena Manawatu, 3pm

Z War-Zombie Modern Combat So besides the fact the game can't get past the loading screen because it doesn't even load anymore, it crashes every 5 minutes, you need to buy the "first recharge" for a first recharge bonus because somehow recharging for the first time using a different purchase doesn't count, and despite linking my account to facebook I'm still not uninstalling and reinstalling because of how many other people lost their accounts.
