http://www.space.com/scienceastronomy/070510_oldest_star.html said:Employing techniques similar to those used to date archeological remains here on Earth, scientists have learned that a metal-poor star in our Milky Way called HE 1523 is 13.2 billion years old-just slightly younger than 13.7 billion year age of the universe. Our solar system is estimated to be only about 4.6 billion years old.

According to the article, while HE 1523 is certainly old, it isn't the oldest.
