Distance Scale

    It would make it more interesting to understand the distance scale for each image.

    Ah this one I can answer. Once you have drawn your bubbles, hit discuss rather than confirm. This will take another page with the all important co-ordinates listed under the picture. Then you need to head over to this site;

    http://www.alienearths.org/glimpse/

    Click on launch viewer. Then in new window click on begin. Click on the lil green button on upper right side (labelled co-ordinates) and enter your co-ordinates. This will let you zoom in on the spot on the Milky Way you were just looking at in detail and also give you a better understanding of the context of the picture.

    Hope this helps?
