farthest away
Maximum distance from
Farthest away means at the greatest distance from a reference point.
It combines the superlative *farthest* with *away* for emphasis or clarity: The farthest away galaxy ever observed, Which planet is farthest away from the sun?
The phrase often appears where *farthest* alone would suffice, but speakers add *away* to make the spatial sense explicit.
