A star doesn't move. A star doesn't enter our atmosphere. The star of Bethleham was moving and the wise men (there were not 3 wise men. Bible doesn't say how many) were following what they thought was a star. What's your take on this?

The Star of Bethlehem didn't move. It stayed over baby Jesus while the wise men moved from the East to the West where Jesus was. And yes, there were a lot more than three wise men.

There's a great short story called The Star (can't remember the author, sorry) about a Jesuit scientist who goes into space and discovers the ruined remains of a civilization that was destroyed when their sun went supernova. He does the math, and figures out that this sun going supernova was what caused the "Star of Bethlehem." So God destroyed and entire race and civilization on another world to tell us Jesus was coming on ours. Nice, eh?

It might have been Jupiter. The BBC had a series on religion and they address this whole star of Bethlehem thing. It was cool.

That 'star' stayed in the same place for more the two years. When we follow a star, it is the same if you want to go North, you 'follow' the North star, Polaris. Does it move? No. That is why it may be followed.

It didn't guide them to Jesus, but to King Herod who wanted to kill Jesus. His advisers said to look in Bethlehem. It took them over a year to get there, did the ship stay up there, every night for that whole time? If so, apparently the aliens were here to help kill Christ, but they failed.

Okaaaay....Maybe the star doesn't move, but the Earth does. That's why you get the feeling that the 'moon is following you' when you're driving? hmmmmm...what a question....

Wow, only one of the greatest authors of sci-fi ever, Arthur C. Clarke, the name should ring a bell.

Satan sent this celestial phenomenon to help Herod locate the Christ child but God warned the men not to return to him and they obeyed.
