00:01Earth's oldest material was just discovered, 7 billion year old stardust.
00:06This stardust was tucked away inside a meteorite that fell to Australia in 1969
00:11and was only recently found in the new analysis of the meteorite's ancient dust grains.
00:16These grains, which range from about 4 million years older than our sun to up to 3 billion years older,
00:22were likely pumped out into the universe by dying stars and then picked up by an asteroid.
00:26The universe is full of stardust that predates the sun,
00:30but this is the first time such ancient grains have been found on our planet.
00:33That's because even if such ancient grains collected on our planet while it formed,
00:37they were likely heated and transformed by planetary processes such as plate tectonics and volcanism.
00:42But these grains survived on an asteroid that hadn't really changed in billions of years.
