They don’t know what the Milky Way looks like from the outside. No clue.

You can even see it in the picture above. Some of the Milky Way has turned white. A clear sign of being old. It's still edible though.

So it looks like our galaxy is a barred spiral? Not as pretty as Andromeda. Although I had a 63 Galaxy 500 with a 390. It was cool and a huge back seat to fit some heavenly bodies at the drive in.

So, old enough to drink, then? When it collides with Andromeda, they can have a toast.

The Universe was born with almost exclusively hydrogen and helium. The other chemical elements, known collectively as metals to astronomers,

Define “old.”

If the Universe had a beginning, then every object in it is the same age.

Splain.

...part of the Milky Way known as the ‘thick disc’ began forming 13 billion years ago, around 2 billion years earlier than expected, and just 0.8 billion years after the Big Bang

It that's the case, it means that we (or our part of the universe), were there almost at the beginning of the big bang, or at the beginning of the universe. We were there first, and we started the whole thing. We were the first galaxy, and therefore, we are the rightful owners of the universe, and Putin can't claim anything that we were first to inhabit.

Something tells me that, astronomers have no clue about how old the universe is, or how big it really is.

But, like climate-change/global-warming, the science is settled.

The Milky Way is older than they thought?

No comments have been forthcoming from Nobel prize laureate, Cal Tech physicist Dr. Sheldon Cooper, physicist Dr. Leonard Hofstadter, astrophysicist Dr. Rajesh Koothrappali, or Mr. Howard Walowitz from the Cal Tech Engineering Department.
