The researchers claim the 'Christmas star' was most likely a magnificent conjunction of the planets Venus and Jupiter, which were so close together they would have shone unusually brightly as a single "beacon of light" which appeared suddenly.
Jesus was born in June? heh. I always thought he was born in April, during lambing season (which is why the shepherds were in the fields instead of home in bed).
