Astronomy & Space - November 2007

Tidal forces create the oceanic tide of Earth's oceans, where the attracting bodies are the Moon and the Sun. Since the oceans' mass is much larger than the fluids running through our bodies, is it possible that they may affect even in a tiny way our own fluids???

the following stars are the brightest in the sky to the naked eye
in order of magnitude. name? each star and their names? the constellations? their magnitude? Please name all the stars names in order please? hint over 20 star names? name the constellation and their meaning? and their Magnitude?
Reason for this is to see just how many astonomers, and astrologers, clearly know their field of work? Thank you, and please no jokes, this is serious guys!! as it depends on how some people can be fooled, which is a naughty thing! And to see how many of you in both groups of subjects, truly know what they say. Do not go to Wiki, either, as I will know! Thank you so much only the serious please!

then, how do photons do it? I mean, in physics class, we were taught, that to move something at constant speed, you need constant unchanging force. So how can something apply to one section of the universe and not another?

This question has a few parts:
From the article here:

it is true that black holes vary in size - what determines the size of the hole and does size change over time?

Does light absorbed by a black hole contribute to its mass?

Is the gravity of a black hole the same as that of earth - differing only by strength/force?

The following paragraph was inside a news article on Yahoo today.
"Like the much larger, supermassive black holes found at galaxy centers, stellar-mass black holes have such powerful gravity fields that not even light can escape them. Astronomers estimate their mass by measuring their gas emissions and the gravitational effect on the stars they orbit."

I understand how they would have a gravitational effect on the stars they orbit and even other bodies.

But how can GAS escape if the gravitational field is so powerfull that not even light can escape?

This does not make any sense at all.

because the light seemed like it was following us. It would stay still for a few minutes and just blink its lights like crazy. then it would start moving up and down, side to side, zig zagging, very very fast! then it would move across the sky and then kind of dim out... what could this possibly be???
