The King of the Jews has been born.
They see the star.
why didn't everybody else see it?
Why don't other historians say, oh, yeah, there was that great star?
Well, there are some theories about that we can get into.
Exactly.
They see things that you and I wouldn't notice.
What could the star have been?
Well, I got a question.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah.
Well, pretty much.
And they knew the difference between celestial bodies and how they rotate.
Oh, they were very careful to document things that way.
And so they see this star.
My theory is it was a nova.
A nova is a star that burns brighter for a while and then grows dimmer and then brighter for a while.
And you and I wouldn't have noticed it.
But to them, especially where it was positioned in the sky, would tell them, uh-oh, something big is going on.
I think it was a nova.
