How many light years away is the farthest star in our galaxy?
We can’t see the farthest star, so we don’t know which particular star is the farthest. But we do know that the galaxy has a diameter of about 100,000 light years, and we are about 26,000 light years from the center. So the farthest star is about 76,000 light years away. That is for the main galaxy disk. There is also the galactic halo. The global cluster of stars known as AM 1, is about 397,600 light years away.
