1. The Star Of Bethlehem
An Astronomer's View
A rigorous yet accessible investigation of the biblical star that blends historical research, ancient observational records, and modern astronomy to test candidates such as planetary conjunctions, comets, novae, and supernovae. It reconstructs the chronology of the Nativity, explores who the Magi were and how they read celestial omens, weighs the reliability of classical sources, and concludes that a real sky event—most plausibly observed around 5 BC—best explains the Gospel narrative.
