Erm, you read dot instead of comma, so it turns out *you* read it wrong ;)

My bad...

I'm French.
In French, a comma marks the separation between integers and decimals. Thousands are marked by a space.

I didn't recall that difference of writing rules between French and English.

We have Pop III stars in the game? As far as I'm aware they're entirely hypothetical.

You're right. They are entirely hypothetical. One of the missions of the James Webb space telescope will be to try and find real-world examples. Finding verifiable POP III stars in-game would be quite a find indeed.

Encountered one 13+ GYr system near Sidgoir: Preou Thoe RE-A b55-0
I only scanned the innermost planet, so EDSM is missing the other four, three of which are landable. It's a lonely, low mass red dwarf 13028 Million years old.
I've been keeping an eye out for old stars but this is the first during my current expedition that is older than 13GYr. I'm not sure how much this helps though - it's not like we can take spectra of a few thousand stars in different sectors and build H-R diagrams for them to infer their star formation history... . Real life astronomy can do some things better than the game!

Thanks for the contribution. It'll definitely be on the list of stars to explore once the initiative gets fully underway in 3304. Thanks for posting it.

One surprising addition: Pyrali QX-C c15-1, a G8 VAB with an age of 13,013 million years. 0.8359 solar masses, 0.9310 solar radii and surface temperature 5,288.00K. I wasn't expecting to find a G type star this old, it just happened to be a waypoint on my route to Froadik. Glad I'm not using the 20KLY route plotting and sticking to 1KLY legs - it's not the only time today I encountered something interesting because of that (an Earth-like World one stop after a waypoint crossing the Angustia region - in a circumbinary orbit of a L and T dwarf pair!).
.
If I find any more, I'll try to group them together rather than making one post for each find.
