Wow, sharks @439mya, Polaris @70mya. They're more than 6 times older! This is NUTS!

What's even crazier is sharks are even older than trees!

Honestly, I disagree. It is much more surprising to me that lifeforms I recognize are older than stars. They're different timescales in my mind that I never even considered comparing.
