"Wise men from the East came to Jerusalem" (Matthew chapter 2) looking for the King of the Jews about the time of Christ's birth. They said they had seen His star in the East and had come to worship Him.
For two thousand years people have asked what these men saw because it doesn't sound natural, and lots of attempts have been made to explain it.
A lawyer attempted a scientific investigation using modern software, and he makes a good case (dvd of his lecture). On his website is this statement from former Chief of the Planetary Astronomy Dept. at Nasa:
"About 99.9% of the Star of Bethlehem stuff is nutty, but this isn’t that. It’s well-researched and reasonable.”— RONALD A. SCHORN, PH.D.
