      The oldest planet in our solar system is Jupiter. However we have used a telescope in space called the ‘Hubble Space Telescope’ to find a planet that is nearly 13 billion years old – that’s over twice as old as Jupiter!

      We haven’t named this planet yet, it’s normally just called ‘the old planet’, but when we find out more about it I’m sure it will get one!
