Decluttering the Map View

Doing a little exploring, probing, scanning and was wondering if there is a setting or keystroke to declutter the map/solar system view when I mouse-over a planet. There are times when I try to move my probes around that the information stack just hangs there. Any way to have it come up at all?

Thanks in advance!

Click empty space away from it.

Same thing if you have 20 things in space and you happen to mouse over them.

That and the probe ranges that are so easy to accidentally drag when clicking somewhere in space to move the camera. If I wanted to change the range I'd set it on the scanning window, dammit!

Still, chasing down signatures is a pretty neat minigame. Too bad the interesting stuff requires good skills, powerful ships, corp mates etc. But I guess nothing comes easy. That's one of the things I'm loving about this game.

You can chose what is shown on the solar system map, not in game at the moment but the tool box, solar system, check or uncheck waht you want to show, this can reduce the cluter, just wish this was maybe a box on the side of the map for easier access, hate opening this every time i want to remove or add some thing to the view.
