A perennial favorite, 鈥淪tar of Wonder鈥� recreates the skies as they appeared 2,000 years ago. Could it have been a comet, a meteor, or a supernova? How might an astronomer explain it? Viewers will trace what may have been the path of the mysterious star followed by the Wise Men鈥攔evealing the constellations and the locations of planets. 鈥淲e will ask the question, 鈥榃hat was it in the sky that compelled the Magi to embark on a journey of hundreds of miles across desert and mountains?鈥欌€� shares Jon Bell, 果冻传媒 Hallstrom Planetarium Director. 鈥淭his program will bring the audience one step closer to understanding.鈥�
