Rick Larson used a professional astronomy program to determine the stars' formation at the time of Jesus' birth. It included one star (Jupiter) coming into conjunction with several others, touching the Leo and Virgin constellations, and creating what was probably the brightest star in the history of human civilization. What's more, it would have appeared to be in the west at Jesus' birth (to Magi from Persia) and then appeared to be slightly south from Herod's palace where the Magi stopped first. There was also a blood moon (lunar eclipse) on the afternoon Jesus died, visible from Israel (Joel 2:31 and Acts 2:20).
