Still Waters Posted December 3, 2016 #1 Share Posted December 3, 2016 "Astronomers, historians and theologians have pondered the question of the 'Christmas Star' for many years," said Mathews. "Where and when did it appear? What did it look like? Of the billions of stars out there, which among them shone bright on that day so long ago? Modern astrophysics is how we attempt to explain one of history's greatest astronomical events." Studying historical, astronomical and biblical records, Mathews believes the event that led the Magi -- Zoroastrian priests of ancient Babylon and Mesopotamia -- was an extremely rare planetary alignment occurring in 6 B.C., and the likes of which may never be seen again. https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2016/12/161201112550.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
