  1. Aristarch of Samos weeps...since ~200bc :p yes, it is common knowledge among educated ppl for over 2000 years that moon and sun are at least 1:19 in size; modern observation is more 1:400

  2. you may have to discuss Tolman-Oppenheimer-Volkoff limit together with Chandrasekhar limit as there are no known neutron stars over 3 solar masses. lot of stars bring more than that to the table but everything above TOV turns into a black hole AFAIK so a star would blow away most of its mass away to remain a neutron star still

  3. rare exceptions apply: Ganymede and Titan are moons (of the gas giants Jupiter and Saturn respectively) but both are larger than Mercury as planet
