What occurred in the skies centuries ago that has lived on as the Star of Bethlehem, or the Christmas Star? Was it a supernatural phenomenon or a natural astronomical occurrence that appeared at the time of the biblical first Christmas? Join Joe Rao, an Associate and guest lecturer at the Hayden Planetarium, as he explores several possible explanations through the lens of modern astronomy. Registration is underway.
