Star of Bethlehem legend

In the midst of the world's Christians celebrate the birthday of Christ (peace be upon him) often note the highest star stands Holiday Tree Christmas, what is her story and interpretation? It's little star of Bethlehem, which allegedly moved in the sky and shone beautifully and uniquely above the birthplace of Christ, peace be upon him to announce the occurrence of the birth the miracle of a virgin, Mrs. Mary, peace be upon her where he witnessed the star class of astrologers Magi (below About them) Vlhakoa-to-arrived in Bethlehem they know for sure that someone will generate important there,

It is believed that this happened the days of King Herod, who ruled in the period of the year 37 BC to 4 BC, mentioned the story in the book and the new covenant when the second chapter of Matthew:

It is noted that the mention of the star has been limited to the Gospel of Matthew it is not mentioned in any of the Gospels, the other three (John, Mark, Luke), where he spoke the Gospel of Luke about the birth of Christ without mentioning the star Kraushaar, Gospels of John and Mark mention the life of Christ in the stages of his youth without addressed to an event of his birth. The question here: Did the Star of Bethlehem Mauraúaa event can be described as a miracle and announce the birth of Christ or that Christ's birth coincided with the occurrence of a natural astronomical event at the same time? This question is still controversial and the debate, mentioning the following hypotheses for the explanation.

They are priests or kings or Caldaon Varcillon interested in the study of astronomy and astronomical phenomena, and the name usually given to the wise men, philosophers, men of the world, especially astronomy and said they were magicians and astrologers of Mesopotamia, and the worship of fire. The astrology of the Magi scientists believe that the emergence of star sign of the birth of a great person. It is said that they were following the doctrine of the Magi (Balaam), who predicted the coming of Christ (Book of Numbers). They knew the prophecy, and waiting for this child wonder who told him (Balaam): "This planet of Jacob ..

So far no one knows the exact date of the birth of Christ Valtqoam current based on the birth took place during the first year of the birth, but it is likely that the birth occurred in the period between 2 BC to 7 BC.

 Are reported in the Gospel of Matthew, the star act is not what we see in the stars where he is an extraordinary joy by many, but the stars do not move the eye directly to the PSC rate for sites other stars, but seem animated only to the successive stages from the east to the west across the dome revealed through the earth's rotation around itself, and it looks moving also in the same direction (from east to west) over the weeks and months during the earth around the sun.

  Magi saw the star in the east and followed him toward the West and so far it looks normal at the disposal of the stars where it seemed that the star passes in the sky for days or even weeks. But there has been so astronomical body is not normal, as it stopped at the place of the birth of the child, what is it that stops the body in the sky to the point that the Magi knew the place of birth in a moment he stopped?

- Did not say "when" Matthew any special characteristics of the star but it was something unusual and bright and colorful and bright but at the same time attract the attention of the Magi and astrologers from Persia.

There are a number of assumptions, some logical and some of the other strange thing, including:

 The "Supernova" Supernova is the star enters a new phase of his life Vinfjr absolutely enormous amounts of light, in this case may be the star dimmed so if it is monitored with the naked eye, but at the same time was an important guide for the wise men to the emergence of a new star in the sky. Likely the British astronomer David H. Clark and two colleagues in the quarterly magazine of the Royal Society for Astronomy that the explosion of a supernova event in the year 5 BC in Capricorn.

 What may be observed by the Magi just guilty Athrt its path independently of the positions of the stars in the sky. It may have seemed ostensibly standing in his place for some time in the sky when the wind. Indeed that has happened over the Halley's Comet in 12 before Christmas and remember the old records of Chinese astronomers View unexpected for two objects in the sky during that period. One was guilty of objects appeared in the vicinity of the alpha and beta in Capricorn in the month of March in the year 5 BC. Then came another comet in the month of April of 4 BC near Altair Altair (Flying) is the brightest star in the constellation Aquila Aquila (eagle bird).

Some people believe that God sends aliens (perhaps a type of angels) on board the vehicle (UFO) may be this is what guided the Magi to Bethlehem. (Read about: Khalidi hypothesis - the ideological interpretation of the phenomenon of UFO) and with this interpretation is a bit strange but it explains how the sudden appearance of the body and then move and then stop precisely at the place of the birth of Christ.

The story of the star may be just a myth fabricated to demonstrate the message of Christ. Martin Gardner wrote a researcher is skeptical: "In my opinion, I consider the modest story of the star just a myth like the old myths such as the emergence of Marvel Star Caesar Caesar Pythagoras or Star Krishna (a Hindu sacred to the gods) and the stars appear to persons of Fame."

 Hypotheses for which she received the highest amount of credibility in the day is to be the star of Bethlehem is a planet or a single association between several planets.

Supposed astronomer Kepler Johannes Kepler in the 17th century that the star may be the result of a conjunction between two planets are Jupiter and Saturn, can this association is rare to happen in the year 7 BC in Pisces, a sign of the towers symbolize in some cases to the Children of Israel. The supervisor of the Griffith Observatory astronomer (John Moseley) John Mosley in Los Angeles, believes that star birth was a series of rare events which occurred during the past planetary conjugation of 3 BC to 2 BC. He wrote in an article published by MSNBC: "The show began on the morning of June 12 in 3 before Christmas, then watched Venus very close to the planet Saturn in the eastern sky

 And then he happened conjugation another between Venus and Jupiter on the 12th of the month of August in the Burj al-Assad, seen astronomers old to refer to the origin of the children of Israel, and from which extends between the month of September of 3 by birth to the month of June the year 2 BC an event that passed in front of Jupiter Rigolos star Regulus in Leo reversing its direction and then passing again, and then rallied again to cross the front of the same star for the third time. He looked to the ancient astronomers of that incident as a very striking especially since Jupiter was considered the king of the planets in their eyes as well as star Rigolos dubbed the "king star." Supply reached a peak on June 17, then began to Jupiter very close to Venus so that it was seen without a telescope and a star shining uniqueness. "

Believed the world space physics, Dr. (Mike Molnar) Mike Molnar that he had found evidence of the effect that the Star of Bethlehem may be a Jupiter and reached through the form of engraved on a piece of criticism of ancient Roman, which carried the piece sign of Aries (The Ram symbol of the Children of Israel ) and next to a superstar. Believed Molnar that the body is Jupiter, saying: "Over the buyer Bhadtta eclipse caused by the Moon in Aries, in the year 6 BC. And Jupiter was the thinks you then star luxury and the ownership of inflated its strength as a result of conjugation close between Jupiter and the moon, and in practice there is proof of the order Romanian conditions that April 17th of the year 6 BC will come with the influence of a human being and the Messenger Khalid and born under the sign of Aries (the ram, which symbolizes the children of Israel).
