Abstract
The experimentally measured equality of inertial mass () and gravitational mass () of a body indicates nothing about the ratio to the order of gravitational self-energy/total energy of the body. Experiments are discussed, using astronomical bodies, which measure to the order of the gravitational self-energy of the bodies. The configuration of the stable three-body problem of Lagrange is shown to be particularly sensitive to the possible difference of the Sun.
