B Data needed - Related bodies and their stats

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on the search for data sets that provide information on the gravitational relationships between various astronomical bodies, including moons, planets, stars, black holes, galaxies, clusters, and superclusters. The original poster expresses frustration with the need to individually research and document these relationships. A participant humorously corrects a typo, emphasizing the importance of "astronomical" over "astrological." A suggestion is made to explore the Washington Visual Double Star Catalog, which contains over 140,000 entries, although it may not fully meet the original request. Overall, the thread highlights the challenge of finding comprehensive data on pairs of astronomical bodies and their statistics.

TL;DR Summary
Are there data sets for pairs of astronomical bodies and their stats? (Edited)
I’m analysing the gravitational relationships between different mass astronomical bodies and am getting sick of having to individually google and document these.

Are there data sets out there that list pairs/sets of objects which includes their mass and distance from each other?

Including; Moons, Planets, Stars, Black Holes, Galaxies, Clusters and Superclusters.

I'm really hoping you meant astronomical bodies.
Even so, there are a lot of astronomical bodies, so the likelihood of finding information about pairs of them is close to nil.

I sure did mean astronomical! My bad!

Are astrological bodies weighed with Librae?

3I/ATLAS, also known as C/2025 N1 (ATLAS) and formerly designated as A11pl3Z, is an iinterstellar comet. It was discovered by the Asteroid Terrestrial-impact Last Alert System (ATLAS) station at Río Hurtado, Chile on 1 July 2025. Note: it was mentioned (as A11pl3Z) by DaveE in a new member's introductory thread. https://www.physicsforums.com/threads/brian-cox-lead-me-here.1081670/post-7274146 https://earthsky.org/space/new-interstellar-object-candidate-heading-toward-the-sun-a11pl3z/ One...
Is a homemade radio telescope realistic? There seems to be a confluence of multiple technologies that makes the situation better than when I was a wee lad: software-defined radio (SDR), the easy availability of satellite dishes, surveillance drives, and fast CPUs. Let's take a step back - it is trivial to see the sun in radio. An old analog TV, a set of "rabbit ears" antenna, and you're good to go. Point the antenna at the sun (i.e. the ears are perpendicular to it) and there is...
