Abstract

Dr. Paul Hessemer considers the possibilities of the star of Bethlehem seen by the three Wise Men at the birth of Christ: comet, nova, meteor, or conjunction of planets. With illustrations and charts, he explains planetary orbits and demonstrates how the "star" most likely was a triple conjunction of planets on that date.
