I actually am not following what the ambiguity is - stars farther out from the center are younger, no?

The Earth isn't the center of the galaxy, so this feels confusing/confused:
> So, as a general rule, the farther out astronomers look, the younger the stars are.
The father out from the center of the galaxy they look, the younger the stars are.
The location of the Earth is completely irrelevant. "closer" and "farther" refer to the center of the galaxy.
