Astralis said:We discussed the star during an astronomy course I took in college. The astronomers brought up the possibility of a convergance of two of our brighter planets, possibly Venus and Jupiter, in the constellation Pisces, which was considered the constellation of the Hebrews in ancient times by astrologers. The bright "star" represented the birth of a very important king to the Hebrew people, and the wise men went in search of this king.
