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...

Yup, sounds impossible, that system should be on the edge of the visible universe if I'm thinking about it right.

The article explains it is thought the star is a remnant of an ancient galaxy that collided with our own galazy billions of years ago.
