Chapter in the story of the holy book of reference became one of the scientists from the first to reveal the facts of history and the universe. Still in suasan Christmas this time, a number of astronom still trying to find out where the star is called a convoy birth of Jesus Christ.

Based on the Bible, the stars are known by the name Bethlehem Star. Stars that guide three people Majus (King of the East) to Jesus’ manger.

During the centuries of astronomy experts debate whether the star is indeed there. If there is, whether it is not a comet star, the planet, or a meteor. However, in the last two years, they become two theory, which dominates the discussion.

First, what is called the star is likely related to the conjunction of two planet, namely Venus and Jupiter. Conjunction with the most interesting happened on June 2 years before Christ. The results of the simulation shows the two objects visible sky is very close in space so that they appear attached.

“There is no wavering space for observers that the conjunction is seen as the object that resembles a big star in the sky in the western part of the night,” said Director of Griffith Observatory in Los Angeles Ed Krupp, California. The public is generally difficult to distinguish the planet and star.

However, the question is, whether the year is a sign of the birth of Jesus. “There are certainly ambiguitas on the date of birth of Jesus. There are no exact records about it,” said Director of the Department of History of Astronomy Marvin Bolt in the Adler Planetarium, Chicago, Illinois.

According to Bolt other alternative theory that the Star is a set of Christmas series stars, in this case the Moon, Jupiter, and some groups of stars, which are bersejajar. Ordering the solar system started from this April 6 BC, Jupiter came from that are in the constellation Sagittarius. Several months later, Jupiter berkonjungsi the Month two times, and unite with the Saturn.

“This is not the issue see the celestial event. You have to learn things that are very important for people 2,000 years ago,” said the bolt.

The development of the theory of depth to reveal the secret star is currently not possible, unless there is new data. According to Krupp, estimates it will be more accurate if new facts relating to when the birth of Jesus. If not, Christmas is still a secret star will continue to be a mystery as well with the birth of Jesus.
