The great astronomer Kepler discovered that in Christ's birth year there was an unusual occurrence among the planets.
He found that in that year Jupiter & Saturn, which are
generally in remote parts of the sky, came three times so near together that to
the unassisted eye the rays of one were absorbed by the other, & their
combination gave an extraordinary brilliant light, which continued for some
months.

Mat 2:1-2 (GNV): “When Jesus then was born at Bethlehem in
Judea, in the days of Herod the king, behold, there came Wise men from the East
to Jerusalem, Saying, Where is the King of the Jews that is born? for we have
seen his star in the East, and are come to worship him.”
“The Bible is to us what the star was to the wise men; but
if we spend all our time in gazing upon it, observing its motions, and admiring
its splendor, without being led to Christ by it, the use of it will be lost to
us.” - Thomas Adams.
