Stars and Galaxies

Research the distances of the following objects from the sun. Fill in the table and create a logarithmic plot that has these objects plotted on it and labeled. (Note: Find the distances in meters and express them in scientific notation before taking the logarithms of the distances. Also, 1 light-year = 9.46 × 1012 km.)
