Michelle York+FollowNASA’s Wild New Theory on the Christmas StarThe Star of Bethlehem might finally have a scientific explanation! A NASA researcher says it wasn’t a star or a planet, but a comet spotted in 5 BCE—one that ancient Chinese astronomers also recorded. The comet’s path and timing line up eerily well with the biblical story, including that moment when the “star” seemed to stop over Bethlehem. It’s not proof, but it’s the closest science has come to solving this 2,000-year-old mystery! #Science #NASA #StarOfBethlehem00Share
