Two articles on the star of Bethlehem
Well, this article is certainly relevant. According to astronomer Dave Reneke, the star used by the three wise men to locate the infant Jesus appeared in June, and not December. For Reneke, even the status of the luminary as a star is in question. Definitely worth a read.
Here is another article on the very same topic from several different perspectives. Supernova? Jupiter? You decide.
It’s been a busy, busy month, what with the grading of tests and final exams, but I do look forward to doing some more frequent blogging over the holidays or in the new year.
Wishing you all a joyous holiday season!
