An ancient exoplanet dated at 12.7 billion years old could have formed over a long period in a giant disk of gas, according to new JWST observations.

PSR B1620-26b, a very interesting report IMO here. I looked at this site, https://exoplanet.eu/home/

I found 250 exoplanets listed with host star ages 10 Gyr or older.

It's surprising that I don't see any view that the protoplanetary disk that formed this exoplanet may have come much later. Since this is a binary consisting of a pulsar and a white dwarf, there was very likely an accretion disk that took form late in these stellar lives, and before the events that gave us both the pulsar and the WD.

Exoplanets formed and still form, and will always form eternally, in the "early universe" then, now, and then (sic)....
