    Yeah. And the oldest stars overall are indeed in the galactic centre.

    But the specific bit you quoted I read as “of the old stars on the outside, the outermost are the oldest”.

      Ah okay, I get you. Reading it back again it does indeed seem to be that this is what they mean.

      Thanks. 😁
