The Bible says that three wise men followed the Star of Bethlehem, or “Christmas Star,” to Jerusalem to inquire about the newborn king. This star was said to be a single bright light in the sky the men could easily see. Now, scientists seem to have a scientific explanation for the Christmas Star. According to astronomy.com per ABC News, the Christmas Star may have historically been when Jupiter and Saturn were in conjunction between Jupiter and Saturn or perhaps a conjunction between Jupiter and Venus. Henry Throop, a planetary scientist at NASA, told the news network today Venus is referred to as the Christmas Star because, aside from the moon and the sun, it will be the brightest object in the sky. At the same time, the Christmas Star will be visible, there will be a Crescent moon. Some parts of the world will also see the Northern Lights. “Right now is a great time to go outside and look up at the night sky,” Henry said. @iflscience Was The Star Of Bethlehem A Real Astronomical Event?

But this year, Venus will be considered the Christmas star due to its prominence in the sky. “We know that’s consistent with basically how the motions of the sky work, where things rise in the east, and they go overhead,” He said, And they sit in the west.” Henry added that based on early astronomers, experts believe the wise men saw something very bright in the sky. It ultimately led them to their destination. He added computers have helped create models of where the planets aligned at any time during the last 2,000 years. These models further explain the authenticity of the Christmas Star. This story’s featured image can be found here.

Another tip is to protect your arms from getting scratched in case your cat gets a little squirmy. A great way to protect your arms is to wear a pair of leg warmers on your forearms (a pair that you don’t care too much for as they will get snagged). Also, try not to get water on their face.
