Because of the way we are situated in the Milky Way Galaxy, the furthest point away from us [See related pictorial] is obscured from our view by the Galactic core, and so we have no idea what is out there.
There are stars out there, but for now, we just don't know what they are.
The furthest thing you can see with the naked eye is the Andromeda galaxy, which is around 2 million light years away. That's the distance that light will travel in 2 million years. There are much further object, but you would need a telescope. There have been some distant galaxies photographed by Hubble, which are around 13 billion light years away, seen as they were near the formation of the universe. See the 'Hubble deep field' images.
That question is impossible to answer. Even if we limited it to "what star of the Milky Way is furthest from the center", we wouldn't be able to answer it because we can't see the stars on the other side of the galaxy.
Point in the orbit that's closest to the sun: "perihelion"
147,098,290 km
Some time during the first few days in January
Point in the orbit that's farthest from the sun: "aphelion"
152,098,232 km
Some time during the first few days in July
We do not know what the farthest star from the earth is, indeed we do not know what the farthest galaxy form the earth is.
We do however know that it is IMPOSSIBLE to know this because of the speed of light and the expansion of the universe.
"This question has not been answered yet" is probably the best answer. We haven't found the "end of the universe" yet. We have seen stars that are thousands of light years away, but there are still more.
The most distant galaxy detected is some 12.8 Billion light years away. This means that the light traveling from the galaxy has taken almost the entire lenghy of time the Universe has been in existence to reach us (14 Billion Years)
According to astronomers 14.5 billion light years away from earth. As you look at a stars light you are looking back in time, and so the farthest stars are 14.5 billion years old because it took 14.5 billion years to reach earth.
It is hard to say. The farthest stars are in other galaxies, but they are so numerous that we generally don't bother to name or number them, so there is no catalogue of them. There are many galaxies that we can detect but they are too far away to make out the individual stars, even though we know they are there.

Is the sun the furthest star from earth?
No, the opposite in fact. Sol is the closest star to Earth.
What is the closest star to your planet?
The sun is the closest star to our planet.that is why it looks so big.

The Moon
5.93 million miles is the distance from earth to which nearby star?
No star is as close as 5.93 million miles. The closest star is the Sun which is on average 92,955,807 miles (almost 93 million).
Which is the closest star to earth not counting the sun?
The closest star to earth is the sun. The next closest is a red dwarf star called Proxima Centauri, much further away. The sun is around 8 minutes away at the speed of light, while Proxima Centauri is around 4.2 years away at the speed of light (light years).
What is the name of the closest star to your planet?
My planet is Earth. Earth's closest star is the Sun.
What is the distance to the nearest star from Earth?
The closest star to earth is our sun. the sun is 149,476,000 km away from Earth.
What is the name of the largest closest star to planet earth?
The largest closest star to planet Earth is the Sun.
What is the name of closest star on the earth?
The sun
Is sol the closest star to earth?
No, Proxima Centauri is the closest star to Earth, not Sol. Sol is another name for our own star, the Sun.
What is the nearest star at the earth?
The sun. Next closest is proxima centuri.
What star is the second to earth?
The closest star to Earth is the SunThe second closest star to Earth is Proxima Centurai.
Why other says that sun is the closest star to earth?
The Sun is often referred to as the closest star to Earth because it is the star that is closest in distance, at about 93 million miles away. In comparison, the next closest star to Earth, Proxima Centauri, is over 4 light-years away.
What star is 1.66 light years away from earth?
Proxima Centauri is the closest star to Earth at a distance of about 4.24 light years away. It is part of the Alpha Centauri star system, which is the closest star system to our solar system.
Name the closest star to earth?
After the sun it's Proxima Centauri
Is Betelgeuse the closest star to earth?
No, Betelgeuse is not the closest star to Earth. The closest star to Earth is the sun, which is part of our solar system. Betelgeuse is a red supergiant star located in the constellation of Orion, approximately 642.5 light years away from Earth.
How far away is the closest star to the sun?
The nearest star(s) to our sun are the Alpha Centauri group. One small star is orbiting one big star. When the large star is in front of the small star (from our view on earth) the big star, Alpha Centauri, is closest. When the small star swings in front of the big star, the small star (Beta Centauri) is closest
