I'm a huge Superman fan and yet I'm still learning more about the character. I have a question for you.
Does Superman's powers increase with age? Just curious, thats all.

Yeah, just like a human. There is a high and low. Though, his exposure to the sun is what really give him more power in time.

Can Move Celstial Objects such as Moons and Small planets, but this taxes him to the limits of his power(Too right it takes the Sun about a hundred years to yield enough energy to duplicate this power).
Durability limits;
General Consensus from writers at the moment is that a planetary explosions will cause enough traumatic damage to knock him unconscious. We're talking the same power yield of the detonation of trillions of Nuclear explosions simultaneously. bare in mind that explosions shouldn't really be an effective means of Killing Superman, the heat explosive energies so deadly in usual circumstances will have the same power enhancing effects as solar radiation. Light emitted from an explosion will do the same as light emitted from the Sun. Don't forget the sun is basically a massive self sustaining explosion. I theorize this is why he's usually unable to take the same kind of punishment in blunt force (i.e. fists).
Speed;
Just below light, unless he enters hyperspace or has some kind of organic warp system built internally.
Yess but most writers (Geoff Johns, Morisson, Mark Waid, Rucka and Duffie) have acknowledged that he is must be doing the previously aforementioned, i.e. biological warp drive or self access into hyper space to achieve this, he probably uses a method similar to the Lanterns when they are going F.T.L.. Its generally accepted D.C. rule that self propulsion beyond F.T.L. by traditional methods (I.e. Non exotic methods mentioned before) will send you into the Speed Force. He can go F.T.L, but he's using a biological exotic means of travel.
i've read waid and johns on the flash, and superman didn't exactly make many appearances. what applies to flash doesnt neccessarily apply to everyon else, too. mcduffie, granted. busiek, i haven't seen, but i'll take your word for it.
