 To actually look for a planet you can use several different methods. You can fly to planets and click them, select the planet from your overview, or use the map by selecting planets from the Orbital Bodies tab on the Solar system information window. Regardless of how you select your planet, you'll want to use the "View in Planet Mode" option to zoom in on the planet.
-You can see a planet's overall resource abundance from anywhere, but the planet must be within your [[Skills:Planet_Management#Remote_Sensing|Remote Sensing]] skill range for you to actually perform a Scan operation for a specific resource (i.e. show its "heat" map). You can manage a planet you've already colonized from anywhere using the Science and Industry window in the NeoCom by selecting the "planets" tab.

Your distance from a planet will also influance the accuracy of the scan. If you are in the same system as the planet, your scans will be more accurate than if you were 9 ly away.
