    Answer: star on far side of Andromeda Galaxy - star on near side of Andromeda Galaxy - star on far side of Milky Way Galaxy - star near center of Milky Way Galaxy - Orion Nebula - Alpha Centauri - Pluto-The Sun

    Explanation:

    Andromeda is the nearest spiral galaxy to our Milky way galaxy. The star on the far side of the Andromeda galaxy would be farthest from Earth. Then, the star at the near side of the Andromeda galaxy.

    The Earth along with the Sun and other planets are located in the Orion arm of the Milky way. It is about 8 kpc from the center of the Milky way. Thus, the next farthest astronomical object would be the star on the far side of the milky way and then a star near the center of the Milky way galaxy.

    Orion Nebula is 1344 ly away from Earth. Alpha centauri is 4.36 ly away from earth. Pluto is about 28 AU away from Earth and Sun is 1 AU distance away.
