Hello everybody,

I suspect that Mario got fooled by the wording in the more info box,
which talks about the 'distance from home planet'. It would help if
the actual and exact location was indicated here; for example,
'Distance from Earth, 60.19 north, 24.92 East...' Also, more info
should really indicate the time used for the calculations.

Even changing the wording to 'Distance from _observer_', would force
one to think a bit about ones relative position in Guide's universe.

Now that we are at it, would you answer this: are distances measured
from observer to the center of the target object or to the neares point
of it? I think the first is correct.
