Without the statistics in hand, but the thought in mind, I think the moon has to be the most socially "talked" about celestial. It's a star in songs, a wonder in children's books, a visual for body part comparisons (I'll let you guess) and even a scapegoat for when life runs a amok. A believer will see the Man In The Moon, a dreamer will swear Frank Sinatra flew them to it, and the romantic knows when it hits their eye like a big pizza pie...
I myself still look up at it sometimes and sing "Somewhere Out There" and remember when a tiny mouse had me feeling obligated to say goodnight to it every night growing up. And now as a grown-up I am more curious than ever to let it tell me its story... from a mysterious beginning as Earth's remnants (so a theory states) to a technologically enhanced point of viewing.
Ah, why not... GOOD NIGHT MOON :)
