I once saw someone suggesting that the story of Jesus is somewhat representative of the night sky and its constellations.
So I set out to see what the sky looked like in the year 1... here: http://neave.com/planetarium/
And what do you know?....

The big yellow thing is the sun rising in the Libra constellation
Right at the left of the sun, there's a lone bluish thing: that's Neptune (the guys at this time didn't know there was a Neptune out there...).
Then you have an upward trail of planets aiming at Virgo's... errr... skirt:
- Mercury
- Venus
- Mars (the red one)
- Jupiter
33 years later (not counting 7 leap days):

It repeats... well, minus Jupiter... Joseph?
Is it significant?
Probably.
Many mythologies may have come about by making up stories about the figures seen in the stars... that's why heaven is said to be up there.
