摘要：
Cosmologists, using cosmic clocks such as stellar beryllium accumulation, have determined the age of the Milky Way as around 13.6 billion years. A new calculation, based on the ratio of uranium-238 to thorium-232 in meteorites and galactic halo stars, gives an age quite close to that: 14.5 billion years. That's almost as old as the Universe itself.
