Title: "Astronomers find the edge of the Milky Way"

First sentence in the article: "Astronomers have located the edge of the Milky Way’s star-forming disk for the first time"

Wouldn't you expect someone from a publication called "Sky & Telescope" to know that these two are different things?!

Also, in diagrams showing our galaxy, I would greatly appreciate a "you are here" marker which points out the location of our solar system...

What would that mean?

Try locating France on this map: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:T_and_O_map_Guntherus_Zin...
