Step into the planetarium dome at Steno Museet for a different kind of Christmas evening. The programme looks at the story of the Christmas star, the bright sign that, according to the Gospel of Matthew, guided the three wise men to the child.
No historical source clearly reveals which celestial phenomenon may have inspired the tale. Under the dome, the session explores stars, planets and historical records to test whether the Christmas star could have an astronomical explanation, and which event in the sky might lie behind it.
