The Christmas Star – is there a scientific explanation for the Star of Bethlehem?
A free talk by Frank Andrews from Wellington Astronomical Society
Is it possible to give a scientific explanation for the biblical account of the appearance of a bright star at the time of the birth of Jesus? By studying the few fragments of information that are available and combining them with known historical material it is possible to exclude some theories that have been put forward over the last four centuries. In putting together this complex jigsaw puzzle over a period of nearly five decades, Frank Andrews suggests a possible new scenario which fits well with biblical accounts and known, independent historical records.
