The Star of Bethlehem (2007 film)

Larson used the Starry Night astronomy computer program along with an article written by astronomer Craig Chester;[1][2][3] based in part on the work of Ernest Martin.

[9] The Star's nine data points are that it signified birth, it signified kingship, it was related to the Jewish nation, and it "rose in the East";[10] it was not known to Herod the Great;[11] it appeared at a specific time;[12] it endured over time;[13] it was before the Magi as they traveled south to Bethlehem from Jerusalem,[14] and then, according to the Bible,[15] it stopped over the city of Bethlehem.

[19] (In Molnar's book, The Star of Bethlehem: The Legacy of the Magi, he documents Jesus' birth as Saturday [Sabbath] April 17, 6 BC due to a triple conjunction in Aries).

This is concurred by the Biblical scholar Colin R. Nicholl, who disagrees with the Martin-Larson hypothesis,[20] and presents his views in his book The Great Christ Comet.

[31] Christian Cinema reviewer Angela Walker wrote, "The Star of Bethlehem doesn't have an MPAA rating, but the nature of the subject would probably earn it a PG for thematic elements (that being the birth of Jesus Christ).

Larson shows the upper part of the Tadpole Galaxy taken by the Hubble Space Telescope to discuss the size of the Universe from God's perspective. The "dots" are not stars, but are galaxies (minutes 14:19-16:00).
The planet Jupiter , which Larson thinks was part of a series of events involving the Star of Bethlehem. [ 6 ]
The Star of Bethlehem suggests the Star stood over Bethlehem in its retrograde motion . [ 18 ] [ 22 ] As earth overtakes other planets as it orbits, they appear to loop backwards. The planet Mars here shows this looping motion.
