1. Very interesting
Good thing one of the stars went supernova and left a pulsar remnant. Otherwise this planet would never have been detected. No way to detect using the doppler shift method we use for stars in our own galaxy (like the recent discovery of a planet about the size of jupiter in a star roughly 100 Light years away. 13 billion years ago is very early in the history of the universe (depending on the number you like for the Hubble constant)!
