The Sky at Night

Season 45 Episode 13: The Star of Bethlehem

When Venus is brilliant, the question is often asked: can Venus have been the Star of Bethlehem? The answer is certainly 'no', but we still do not know what the star was, if anything. Patrick Moore is joined by David Hughes and Mark Kidger, who have made careful studies of the records. Can they give a convincing answer?
