Tracking the star of Bethlehem

If for some reason you cannot sleep in early hours of Dec 7th you could witness a rare celestial phenomenon. Jupiter, and three of its moons are going to pass behind the earth's moon. This hasn't happened in North America since the 60s, and will not happen again for 20 years.

There are astronomers who link this phenomenon to the Star of Bethlehem. I am not sure what I think about this, but it makes for some interesting reading. Check it out!
