Notes and Goofs[]
- Coran scoffs at the idea that a Balmera might exist in the Milky Way because it is such a "young galaxy." In reality, however, the Milky Way is one of the oldest galaxies in the universe, as the recent discovery of ultra metal-poor 13.5-billion-year-old star 2MASS J18082002-5104378B in the same section/layer of the galactic disk as our own star further confirms.
