The Star of Bethlehem, crucial in Jesus’ birth story, is often in planetariums during holidays. Despite debates on its existence, Christianity views it as a miraculous sign. Astronomers suggest cosmic events like comets, supernovas, or planetary conjunctions. A notable conjunction around 3-2 B.C. involved Jupiter, Regulus, and Venus, symbolizing a king’s birth. Magi, possibly astronomers, interpreted this as a sign. Modern astronomers believe such an event could resemble a “bright beacon of light.” Jupiter’s path may explain its movement toward Bethlehem. Whether divine or astrological, the Star of Bethlehem remains integral to Christmas tradition.
