I believe that it is all to do with margin of error. The further away the planet, the greater the margin of error in the observations and therefore the greater the uncertainty in their distance from Earth.

Why are scientists unsure of the distance of Deneb from Earth?

There is an uncertainty in ANY distance calculation; more so in astronomy, where you can't apply a measuring tape directly. For example, if you use the parallax method, you can only measure the parallax angle up to a certain precision; the farther the star is from us, the smaller the parallax angle, and therefore the larger will the uncertainty be.Specifically in the case of Deneb, it seems that it is surrounded by a shell of material; this makes it more difficult to measure the parallax exactly.


Is farther an adjective?

It can be, when it modifies a noun (e.g. a farther distance) as the comparative of the adjective "far."It can also be an adverb (go farther) meaning "further."

How do astronomers use pictures of distancee galaxies to determine the age of the universe?

The general tendency is for galaxies that are farther away from us, to move away from us faster. This can give a rough idea of a galaxy's distance, just by observing its redshift (which is a measure of how fast it moves away from us).
