Final answer:

Without specific distance information for galaxies M 104, M105, M60, or M 77, it is impossible to determine which is the farthest from Earth based on the provided information.

Step-by-step explanation:

The student is asking which of the listed galaxies (M 104, M105, M60, M 77) is the farthest away from Earth. To determine which galaxy is the farthest, we need to consider their respective distances from the Earth. Based on provided information, the farthest known galaxy is 13 billion light years away from Earth. Since none of the specific distances for galaxies M 104, M105, M60, or M 77 are provided, we cannot determine which one is the farthest based solely on their Messier catalog numbers. However, if we had the distances, we could compare them with the known distance of the farthest galaxy to identify which among them is farthest. Additionally, to convert light years to meters, we would use the conversion factor where 1 light year is approximately 9.461 x 10^15 meters.
