Needs A Picture
[edit]Article needs a pic of the star.

The artists renditon is very good and should be kept, but more astronomy pictures and graphs should be added to the article.

Basic infobox added
[edit]I've added a basic infobox for this star, however, among the missing information would be the stellar classification. I couldn't find any reliable information on this, and perhaps it's still unknown. I could also not find any boundaries for the approximation of its distance. — Northgrove 11:10, 20 February 2008 (UTC)
Discrepancy?
[edit]"HE 1523-0901 is the designation given to a red giant star," but, later in the article, we see that it's "approximately eight-tenths the size of the Sun."
A red giant that's only 1,000,000 km wide? No star so small would be visible 7,500 ly away. 68Kustom (talk) 07:10, 18 February 2009 (UTC)
That should really say 0.8 Solar masses. The star is a highly evolved red giant, giving it a much larger radius than the Sun and hence making it possible to see. --114.76.62.26 (talk) 10:21, 14 June 2009 (UTC)
Mass and size are two very different things, hence the confusion.
75.166.172.10 (talk) 12:58, 1 September 2010 (UTC)
Also the article doesn't say 7,500 light years, it says 750 light years.

"Second" oldest?
[edit]On 22 Dec, 109.242.25.81 (talk) changed "This makes it the oldest object yet discovered in the galaxy," to "This makes it the second oldest object yet discovered in the galaxy,". I can find no supporting statement in the citation. Can anyone clarify what makes this the second oldest, or should we edit it back? --50.41.5.211 (talk) 15:25, 22 February 2013 (UTC)
