Episode overview

For almost 2,000 years, the Star of Bethlehem has been regarded as a major mystery. What was the Star of Bethlehem? Was it the planet Venus, an exploding star, a comet, or a grouping of planets? Patrick Moore examines all the latest evidence, and looks at the problem from the scientific point of view.
