Guest guest Posted December 20, 2005 Report Share Posted December 20, 2005 Jaya Jagannatha Dear Sanjay, Namaste Interesting to know that Sirius was the first star at dawn at the Nile. Because of precession, it is no visible any longer. Possibly the reason why this scientist thought we maybe looking at the wrong part of the sky J Sirius is the star closest to Earth and one of the Saptarishis – Pleiades. Sounds familiar? Mahabharata mentioned this, no? Love, Swee sohamsa [sohamsa ] On Behalf Of Sanjay Prabhakaran Tuesday, December 20, 2005 9:54 PM sohamsa INFO: Star of Bethlehem The Burke Baker Planetarium has been telling the story of the Christmas Star for forty years. However, new evidence indicates that we may have been looking in the wrong part of the sky. Recently Dr. Michael Molnar, an astronomer and coin collector, found an ancient Roman coin minted in the first century AD in Antioch, Syria. The coin shows the zodiac pattern of Aries, the Ram, looking at a star over its shoulder. According to Marcus Manilius, a Roman astrologer, Aries was the constellation representing Syria. A very special celestial event in Aries could have been interpreted as a sign of the birth of a king in the regions dominated by Aries, the Ram—especially if the event occurred as Aries was rising in the East. Discover what this event might have been and how it could have guided the wise men to Jerusalem and on to Bethlehem. Using the Planetarium's digital, star field simulator, we will recreate the night sky at the date and time of Christ's birth to see what the wise men could have seen and to discover if the Star of Bethlehem was a celestial event or a miracle. -- Version: 7.1.371 / Virus Database: 267.14.1/207 - Release 12/19/2005 -- Version: 7.1.371 / Virus Database: 267.14.1/207 - Release 12/19/2005 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 21, 2005 Report Share Posted December 21, 2005 Dear Swee and Sanjay, Is it wrong to believe that the Star of Bethlehem was the conjunction of Saturn + Jup + Uranus?

Nothing wrong in believing . But personally I think if the 3 wise men said one star which they followed. Then it has to be one star we have to look out for.

Guest guest Posted December 21, 2005 Report Share Posted December 21, 2005 || Om Gurave Namah || Namaste Swee, The Sirius is associated with Rudra. It's also called Lubdaka in sanskrit is my understanding. http://chandra.harvard.edu/photo/constellations/canismajor.html The saptarishis are in higher up in Latitude. Near the north pole/Dhruva. The Pleiades are the Krittika nakshatra associated with the wives of Saptarishi, Who were mother of Karthikeya.
