The span went to `distanceRings` as the target's straight-line distance from the
Sun, but a ring of radius r passes within |r - p| of the view's centre, where p
is how far out that centre is *along* the galactic plane. For a target above the
plane the two differ by its height, so the band was centred on a radius no ring
has — and `ringLabels` picks its bearing by comparing its own in-plane distance
against the innermost ring, a comparison the new first ring quietly broke.
Two comments and a constant, from the same review. A frame short of the survey
edge gets its callout only when its last ring overshoots it: 245 pc does, 235 pc
does not, which is now a test rather than a sentence. The ring count can reach
16, not 14, now that the span need not start at the Sun. And a ring label was
measured as 135 px of star name when "50 pc" is a third of that, which rejected
rungs a hand's breadth clear of the name: RING_LABEL_REACH_NDC, 0.23, is the
widest of them — "1.5 kpc" with "Survey edge" under it.
Three mutants, three caught. Measured again in the app: unchanged for a star in
the plane (4 labels at 20 pc above it, 7 at 2 pc), and the rings now follow the
plane for one 195 pc above it rather than ringing a place the grid does not
reach.
