They analyzed a survey of nearly a quarter-million stars \u2014 ranging in age from 13.8 billion to 15 billion years old \u2014 to track our galaxy\u2019s growth by cross-referencing their lifecycles with the Milky Way\u2019s movements. <\/p>\n<p>Xiang and Rix set their telescopic sights onto low-mass stars \u2014 like our sun \u2014 during their midlife, or \u201csub-giant\u201d phase, at which point the glow ignited by their ballooning hydrogen allows us to more easily observe and estimate their projected life cycle.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">\n<span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Early days of the Milky Way\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/x4yut8LxGvY?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/span>\n<\/p>\n<\/figure>\n<p>\u201cWith an innovative <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>roach to estimating the birth dates of stars, Xiang and Rix have succeeded in helping us to better understand how our galaxy formed,\u201d said University of Notre Dame physicist Timothy Beers in an editorial tied to the new report.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd the approach is scalable, which means that, as data for larger samples of stars in the Milky Way become available, this picture will come into even sharper focus,\u201d he said.\n                        <\/p><\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
