Oldest most distant planet

I think that this is pretty wild that some of our technology can be used to explore other galaxies and planets.  I think that eventually if the space scientists keep searching they might actually find some sort of life form.  I just hope that they won't be hostile.

This is some really great news hopefully the sort of survey equipment we use today for exploring with our eyes will one day spur companies and goverments into viewing space as a viable resource center. As might I add so many of us already do. I feel unfortunate to be probably maybye only a couple of generations to early to see this transition.
