Journey with us as we unravel an ancient mystery and answer the questions: Who saw it?, When did it appear?, and What was it?
About this Event

Over 2000 years ago, a child was born in Bethlehem. And, with His birth, there were accounts of a mysterious "Star of Bethlehem." But what could it have been? Was it something miraculous and intangible or was it something that can actually be explained through science? Journey with us as we unravel an ancient mystery and answer the questions: Who saw it?, When did it appear?, and What was it? This multi-media presentation also includes a brief sky tour of the constellations of the Winter season.

Program length is one hour.


Please arrive at least 5 minutes before show time, because late arrivals may not be seated for safety reasons in our darkened planetarium.

If you are not already familiar with the location of the planetarium, please be sure to understand our location using the map here on Eventbrite or here: Planetarium location in Google Maps For our public programs, you will be able to park in the I-37 parking lot off of Iroquois Drive directly next to Buffalo State University's Science and Math Complex which houses the planetarium.
