Just the daily post that makes me feel small and insignificant.

I prefer that feeling much more than the modern sense from social media where everyone is abnormally important

Is this a non-sequiter or just poorly phrased?

  > Disk galaxies like the Milky Way form stars “inside-out” — starting from the center and working outwards through the disk. So, as a general rule, the farther out astronomers look, the younger the stars are.
Do they meant looking out from Earth (which is actually nearer to the center of a spiral arm than to either end) or out from the galactic bulge. Either way doesn't make sense.
colechristensen•23m ago
It is beyond obvious what they mean.

Poorly phrased. The most recent stars are on the edges. The inner stars were first, hence the “working outwards”.
