The galaxy MACS0647-JD is the furthest star in the gallery that has been viewed from the earth. It is 3.3 billion light-years from Earth.
Andromeda galaxy is 1,974,973,990 light years from earth, source N.A.S.A. the second furthest star from Earth is 1,974,973,990 light years away..... ----------------------------- There are 5,878,499,814,186.5 miles traveled in a light year, (thats 5.8+ Trillion miles) the center of Andromeda is approx. 2.5 million light years away. The math is beyond me. If 2 steam engines leave their stations from earth 15 minutes apart when will they end up in Andromeda?????
About 2.5 million light years from Earth, but since the Earth and Sun are only 8 light minutes apart, there isn't that much of a difference in how far the Andromeda Galaxy is from the Sun or Earth. So the Andromeda Galaxy is about 2.5 million light years from the Sun and Earth.
There are loads of stars all throughout our universe in millions of different galaxies. The furthest stars away from us in our own galaxy are going to be around 70,000 light years away, on the other side of our galaxy. But other galaxies containing stars will be millions of light years away. The furthest ones will be on the edge of the universe some 14 billion light years away.
The Andromeda Galaxy is at a distance of about 2.5 million light-years from Earth; or from the Milky Way.
It is not correct to talk about "the" Seyfert galaxy - Seyfert galaxies are a type of galaxy.
The nearest spiral galaxy to Earth is the Andromeda galaxy, 2.5 million light years away. Plus it it the furthest thing you can see with the naked eye!
Astronomers once believed that planets were probably rare and unusual, and that tere might not be very many planets. However, recent discoveries indicate that planets are far more common; in fact, almost every star that astronomers have closely observed is discovered to have some planets! So it is likely that the "furthest planet in our galaxy" is on the other side of the galaxy from the Earth. The Milky Way galaxy has a radius of about 40,000 light years, and our solar system is about 3/4 of the way out from the center. So the "furthest planet in our galaxy" is probably somewhere near 70,000 light years away.

The Blackeye Galaxy (M64 galaxy).
The Cigar Galaxy (M82 galaxy).
You can see a number of galaxies with the naked eye.Milky Way Galaxy - Our GalaxyLarge Magellanic Cloud - Best viewed in the southern hemisphereSmall Magellanic Cloud - Best viewed in the southern hemisphereAndromeda Galaxy - Appears as a faint smudge.Triangulum GalaxySculptor GalaxyBode's GalaxyCentaurus A - Probably the furthest galaxy at 13.7 million light yearsMessier 83 - Highly unlikely but has been reported to be seen.From 5 onwards, you would need absolutely perfect conditions and no light pollution.

Bode's Galaxy (M81 galaxy) and the Cigar Galaxy (M82 galaxy).
The Andromeda Galaxy is at a distance of about 2.5 million light-years from Earth; or from the Milky Way.
our galaxy contains between 200- to 400-billion stars arranged in a giant disc shape. The diameter is 100,000 light years with an average thickness of 10,000 light years. The Earth is located about 28,000 light years from the center of the Milky Way.
Objects in space that can only be viewed from earth becouse of reflected light energy are said to be
