    Wikipedia, Gaia archive and Simbad connections

-  The :guilabel:`+Info` button opens a view that contains the local data on the object, and a preview of the Wikipedia article on this object, if it exists.
-  When the :guilabel:`Archive` button appears in the focus info pane, it means that the full table information of selected star can be pulled from the Gaia archive.
-  When the ``Simbad`` link appears in the focus info pane, it means that the objects has been found on Simbad, and we can click the link to open it in the web browser.
