What the heck? 70 million years? 67.82.138.172 (talk) 00:31, 6 September 2011 (UTC)Reply

Yes (well, approximately 79, but on this scale, 9 million years is a rounding error). The methods by which star ages are estimated are well known; you can read stellar evolution for more details. DS (talk) 13:56, 5 October 2011 (UTC)Reply
I've changed the starbox age to 100 Myr. The cluster that T Ant is assumed to be a member of is given an age of 79 Myr, but T Ant itself, and the bluest stars that are assumed to give the most reliable main sequence turnoff position, better fit an age of 100 Myr.
