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?

Today at about 4:30 am I saw the conjunction of Venus and Jupiter, where they were about the width of the full moon, or one half degree apart. Did anyone else see it? Edit: The moon is 2,200 miles in diameter and at a distance of 240,000 miles. Thereby it subtends an angle in radians of 2,200/240,000=.01 (approximately). With pi radians being 180 degrees, one radian is 57.3 degrees, so that .01 radians is about .50 degrees (angle subtended by the moon). (.57 to be more exact, but with...

Your posts, clips and photos may by all means include scientific information; that does not make it less beautiful to me (n.b. the posts must of course comply with the PF guidelines, i.e. regarding science, only mainstream science is allowed, fringe/pseudoscience is not allowed). n.b.
