A Scientific Explanation for the Christmas Star?

What was the “Christmas star”? It seems most Christmases there’s another video or news report about how the Christmas star was a conveniently timed natural phenomenon like a planetary alignment or a supernova. But Scripture is our ultimate authority. What does it say about the star that guided the wise men to the young Jesus?

Well, we have a stellar astronomer (and by that I don’t just mean he’s a great astronomer, I mean he specializes in stars!) on our staff here at AiG, and he gave a talk on what the Christmas star was, then our social media team turned it into a video for our YouTube channel.

People are curious about the details around the birth of Christ.

It very quickly garnered over 100,000 views—yes, people are curious about the details around the birth of Christ. I encourage you to watch this video and share it with others this Christmas season—perhaps use it as a devotion for the family on Christmas Eve or Christmas morning.

Thanks for stopping by and thanks for praying,
Ken
