(Basically, it's higher mass reduces "distance" when sorting. Maybe just do `distance - mass` because that's a quick and dirty way to have something working. Except my mass values I think are very large, so maybe `radar_size` or something between is a better scaler. Although I want mass and size not directly related so it SHOULD be based on mass.)
