  • $\begingroup$ @Raidri well it's a different but related question, and I'm surprised and happy to learn about another SE site with space-related questions! $\endgroup$

Three Bodies

  1. Earth: Legos have made their way to the space station multiple times, and it doesn't appear as though they have left the station.
  2. Jupiter: Lego figures were sent aboard the Juno spacecraft, and are currently orbiting Jupiter.
  3. Sun: All legos in existence are currently orbiting the Sun, as both the Earth and Jupiter do :)

I do not believe they have ever orbited the moon, and I can't see any information for them being anywhere else in the solar system. This is my source.

    $\begingroup$ If the Sun counts, let's go with Saggitarius *, the supermassive black hole at the center of the Milky Way. $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ @jvriesem That is not a solar system body. We hope. $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ @MikeScott Since the Earth-Moon barycenter is well inside the Earth, it would be difficult to support the argument they're orbiting the Moon. See also this answer re. barycenter orbits $\endgroup$ Jul 12, 2017 at 16:21
