December Above & Beyond

The Star of Bethlehem

This makes a fascinating web search! So many theories out there about what the wise men really saw and why it drove them to seek a newborn king. Could it have been a comet or an arrangement of planets or a supernova? If you have clear nights mid-December, get outside and look for the Geminids Meteor Shower display.

Here's what you need to do:
1. Google the terms, “Star of Bethlehem” . Read at least 2 articles on this subject.
2. Go to this website: http://www.unmuseum.org/bstar.htm
3. Look for the meteor shower…..look at this site: http://stardate.org/nightsky/meteors/
4. Write a summary of all that you learned!

This is due by Friday, January 8.
