Do the small satellites of Pluto (Nix & Hydra) orbit Pluto itself or do they orbit the barycentre of the Pluto - Charon system?

moons rotate around planets, planets rotate around suns, suns rotate around black holes and could it be that galaxies follow the same train of logic? the scale and distance involved with galaxies may be the reason why we would not have seen this yet, it could also put us in the right direction toward explaining this dark matter. Dark matter is basically scientist's way of saying something is out there, we just don't know what.

I just learned that if you were to land on Jupiter that you would continue to fall as there is no ground. I also learned that you would be crushed by its immense gravity as you traveled to the planet's center.
My question is when the shoemaker/levy comet hit jupiter, Why didn't it fall to the center of the planet? Or even pass through it. If there is no ground why was there an impact?
They say the force of the impact caused material greater then the mass of the whole earth itself get ejected into space.... Was this gas? Was it rock? If there is no physical ground..... what did the comet smack into?
Gas?
Jupiter's atmosphere?
I just don't get it....

I remember as a kid, maybe 20 years ago, there was a meteor shower. I got up on the roof of my home and laid down to watch it. I remember seeing a big gourp of rocks fly by. It was crazy. They were big enough to be seen, but to far away from the atmosphere to burn up. I haven't had too many chances since then to watch the showers. But, whenever I do, I only see the meteors that are flashes of light passing throught the atmosphere. Was that rare that I could actually see the meteors? Or, is it now that the city lights are just blocking my view?

When I use 50x (20mm) the image is good, but when I use 200x (5mm), there is a diffraction pattern off to one side (not symetric around the star) when it is focused, and the secondary mirror and web are not centered on the star when slightly defocused. I was playing around with the locking and focusing screws on the primary and the screws in the center of the web for the secondary to see if I could tell which way improved the collimation, but I couldn't and the star kept moving both from the pressure on the scope to turn the screws and from the adjustments made to the primary mirror. I also noticed a balance issue on both RA and DEC when I placed the Celestron X-Cell 5mm on the scope, so I increased the counter-weight when switching to the higher power. How do you know which screw to turn which direction for the diffraction and off-axis issues? What do you do about moving stars with primary mirror adjustments? How do you switch between eyepieces of different weights?

a mile of each other on a glassy sea, they will be drawn together "by the force of attraction of large objects." Did old sailors know of an experiment to prove Einstein's warped space or was this just a gimmick for the show? Is this true or BBC productions make believe.

The world under the ocean where there is no natural light but the tiny flimmering fish

OOOORRRR:

Life on the moon (or any planet of the sort) where you cannot leave the bubble of the city unless you wear a suit that provides fresh air and keeps you from flying into space.

Please give me long answers and think about it, I know it's a science-fiction sort of question, but still!
