How do you see mineral concentrations on surveyed bodies?

[Antonin1957 (OP)]

Hello. I hope this is the correct part of the forum for this question.

After a couple hours of youtube video watching, several game restarts and a lot of trial-and-error ship design, I have finally built a survey ship with 6 geological survey sensors and sent it to survey Mars. I also gave it secondary orders to survey nearby asteroids.

When I ordered the ship back to Earth, the Ship Design Display tab says "5 bodies with mineral deposits discovered." But I can't find which bodies have minerals. I see Mars and 4 asteroids with double circles around them, but only Earth has a green circle. When I double click on Mars and those asteroids, nothing happens.

I don't know what I'm doing wrong.

In the top row of buttons in the main window, near the middle, just above the right side of the button for "20 Minutes" increment length, is a button that looks like a map of a solar system.
Click that (or hit F9) and you will open the System View window, wherein you can peruse details on every body in the known galaxy.

Sidenote: go ahead and click all of those buttons in the top row, one at a time, and make a mental note of the wonders revealed by each one.

You can also click the Minerals button on the left, among all those tabs and in the Display tab, you can toggle on show only asteroids with minerals.

You can also use the Mineral Search window to search all bodies in all systems for specific types, amounts and accessibilities of minerals. Its another button at the top.

Antonin, in the system map, on the left of the screen, you can select the Display options you like, to highlight the objects in the system and various characteristics of them, including asteroids with minerals or with colonies, or even hide bodies or others that you don't care to see.
The only ones you can't never hide are the comets (but you can hide their orbits).

Thanks, everyone, for taking the time to help me.
