Answer:

the order of arrival is from highest to lowest

star other side of Andromeda> star near side of andromeda> other side of milky way > center of the milky way> nevulosa orion> Pluto> Sum

Step-by-step explanation:

The light that comes from stars and galaxies travels in a vacuum so its speed is constant and with a value of c = 3 108 m / s, so time will be directly proportional to the distance to the object

x = c t

the order of arrival is from highest to lowest

star other side of Andromeda> star near side of andromeda> other side of milky way > center of the milky way> nevulosa orion> Pluto> Sum
