Description Pit 2018-10-16 10:53:42 UTC
Somewhat related to ID 384057:
It would be nice to add the object size to the data listed for each object on the "What's interesting" overview page.  IMHO it is a quite important constraint on whether something is interesting or not, and having to permanently cycle between overview and detail quickly gets tedious...

Hey, sorry for not replying to this.  I don't always see the bugs assigned to me right away.  The object size is part of the data listed for each object already.  If you click on the objects in the list, the size is in the details right after the surface brightness and magnitude.  The size is not in the first screen because the space is very limited, so that space is just for position information, but it is on the screen once you click on an object.

:)
No complaints from my side

Then the proper request likely would be to clean out the overview a bit, is it?  
Like (just looking at the Galaxies page) only giving *one* name instead of 5, or specifying the type only once.
Also, why positions with arcsec accuracy? How many people even can make use of, e.g., the RA coordinate and translate it into something that tells them where it is?  Info like constellation, maybe transit time, and (sic...) object size would be more informative in an overview.
All IMHO, of course ;^>
