High School Data needed - Related bodies and their stats

Click For 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
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?

Thread 'Lunar Orbit Issues & Lunar Clocks'

I recently purchased a lunar clock intended as a Christmas present for a young family friend who has become interested in astronomy. The clock face shows twelve images of the Moon in all its main phases, with the Full Moon depicted at the "twelve o'clock" position. Now I purchased this clock especially early to allow time to check on its accuracy. After waiting for a full lunar orbit to occur, I have since discovered that the clock time when measured relative to its lunar images (that's to...
