A car driving past will have a greater gravitational field than a distant star, I can't think of any other force that a star can produce. (the same is also true for planets too!)
I don't know, but some people are quite entranced by the idea.
I believe the point being made was that the liklihood of prophecy being accurate was akin to that of a horoscope being accurate.
I might check your horoscope, if I knew how to do so, but how would I ever discern its accuracy? It would be about your personal life, and how you subjectively saw it to apply to you.
Prophecy being specifically targeted to the history of a well-tracked group of people allows each prophecy to be checked objectively.
Tell us about Damascus, Egypt, and Tyre. All failed prophecies.
