Data needed - Related bodies and their stats

In summary, the conversation is about finding data sets for pairs of astronomical bodies and their stats, including moons, planets, stars, black holes, galaxies, clusters, and superclusters. The speaker is getting tired of having to individually search and document this information. They mention the Washington Visual Double Star Catalog as a potential resource, but it may not be exactly what they are looking for.

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.

Are astrological bodies weighed with Librae?

What types of data are typically needed for studying related bodies?

Typically, data such as mass, diameter, orbital parameters, composition, rotational period, and temperature are needed for studying related bodies in a scientific context.

How do scientists collect data on celestial bodies?

Scientists collect data on celestial bodies using various methods including telescopes (both ground-based and space-based), space probes, satellites, and landers. They also use spectroscopy, radar, and other remote sensing technologies.

Why is it important to have accurate statistics on related bodies?

Accurate statistics on related bodies are crucial for understanding their physical and chemical properties, their formation and evolution, and their potential for hosting life. This information is also essential for navigation, mission planning, and avoiding potential hazards.

What challenges do scientists face in obtaining data on distant celestial bodies?

Challenges include the vast distances involved, which can make data transmission slow and difficult, the faintness of distant objects, which can make observations challenging, and the harsh conditions of space, which can affect the instruments used for data collection.

How is data on related bodies used in practical applications?

Data on related bodies is used in a variety of practical applications including space exploration mission planning, satellite navigation, climate modeling, and even in the search for extraterrestrial life. It also helps in understanding Earth's place in the universe and in predicting potential asteroid impacts.
