A relic from the early days of the Milky Way: The globular cluster VVV CL001 hidden behind dense dust could be around 13.4 billion years old. New infrared measurements make it a candidate for one of the oldest star clusters in our galaxy. However, age determination is still subject to considerable systematic uncertainties. Naples (Italy). In the center of our Milky Way dense dust clouds block the view of many star clusters. Especially there, how…
