We present our analysis of Hubble Space Telescope Wide Field Planetary Camera 2 observations in F555W ( broadband V ) and F450W ( broadband B ) of the globular cluster Hodge 11 in the Large Magellanic Cloud galaxy .
The resulting V vs . B - V color-magnitude diagram reaches 2.4 mag below the main-sequence turnoff ( which is at V _ { TO } = 22.65 \pm 0.10 mag or M _ { V } ^ { TO } = 4.00 \pm 0.16 mag ) .
Comparing the fiducial sequence of Hodge 11 with that of the Galactic globular cluster M92 , we conclude that , within the accuracy of our photometry , the age of Hodge 11 is identical to that of M92 with a relative age-difference uncertainty ranging from 10 % to 21 % .
Provided that Hodge 11 has always been a part of the Large Magellanic Cloud and was not stripped from the halo of the Milky Way or absorbed from a cannibalized dwarf spheroidal galaxy , then the oldest stars in the Large Magellanic Clouds and the Milky Way appear to have the same age .
