Is there some way of seeing or finding out what the most extreme planetary body characteristics are in the explored systems so far? As in things like largest and smallest stars (by mass and by radius), largest and smallest planets and moons (I think I have seen moons shown in system maps as small as 2 km in radius), largest number of planetary bodies (the maximum I have seen is something like 63), lightest and heaviest gravity on a landable planet/moon, hottest and coldest surface temperature of a planet/moon (landable and non-landable separately), thickest atmosphere on a landable planet, and so on.
Planetary body records?

Yes here you go: https://edastro.com/records/ and https://www.edsm.net/en/statistics/systems and https://www.edsm.net/en/statistics/bodies and https://www.edsm.net/en/statistics/bodies/planets
Current smallest radius is 137km, I doubt that you found something with 2km, maybe 200km. (there is a tool to scan your logs for your personal records, its called elite observatory and has a built in function to list small bodies, my personal record is 139km)
Current record is 173 bodies, Bleia Dryiae XJ-R e4-1
Wow! I've seen a few over the years with over 100, but that is a doozy!
Now I'll have to visit it...
Could be. Didn't think of taking photographic proof. Next time I encounter something like that I'll be sure to grab a (screen)shot.
Seems like the highest gravity on a landable planet is 45g. Could be quite a challenge to land there...

If only we had a codex for that sort of thing....
If that is a metal rich type body - it is mine, I believe. (an alt, not this account)

And codex rumors, too...
It was not all that exciting
Landed my shieldless hauling cutter in the worst possible terrain I could find.. Still had ~30% hull. Also manged to fly away safely.
That's curious as I got the badge on EDSM for that one.Edsm has another one in the records: Pria Thoi ZP-G d10-37 AB 4 a

Never mind, stranger things have happened!
I guess it is because I'm not an Explorer... And the other one was a few metres smaller and discovered later.

There are a number at 137klms, but likely that's only rounding and many are 137.01klms and etc.
Many years ago there were a number recorded in the databases as smaller than 137klms, I visited them all and without exception it was a data error and all were larger than 137klms, as far as I am aware there are none smaller.
I probably misremembered 200 km radius moons.
That's suprisingly easy to do! I nearly missed that 45g planet because I read it as 4.5g the first time, fortunately Elite Observatory lets me double check.
I do recall many years ago I was contacted by someone informing me that a Star or Planet I had scanned had been entered as a record in some catagory in their database.
My ageing brain sadly hasn't held in store any other information about what that record was
.
Not even sure who that group was & if that particular group still do that kind of thing

There are a couple of groups that used to and no longer exist, I have the badge on EDSM for that sort of thing, but that doesn't include things like gravity and other stuff!
That's a good point, I regularly update my journal logs to EDSM to help me keep track of where I'v been (after the Exploration Server migration screw up a few years ago). I'll give it a look.
I know I'm in the top 70-80's for logs submitted & First System Discoveries
Oh yeah!
Must do a lot of unintentional work around Brown Dwarf's
Find a galactic record.
Added: Must take more interest in those badges I get from EDSM in future

What is this kilo-litre-meter-second ?
Apparently something fivedimensional, so possibly linked to hyperjumping.
