What is the distance from earth to the furthest planet in our galaxy?
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.

Why do astronauts find it difficult to locate extrasolar planets with a telescopes?
Two reasons. (1) Such planets are very dim, from our point of view. Some of the planets in our own Solar System look roughly as bright as the brightest stars; now imagine them at least 100,000 times farther - that would make them 10 billion times dimmer, from our point of view. (2) Such planets are very close to their star - once again, from our point of view, i.e., considering the angular distance.
