The Christmas star has been scientifically proven. During research to locate and prove the Christmas star, 15-years of ancient skies were surveyed using over 69-NASA astronomy computer programs. Correlating events with symbols, symbolism and interpretations used by the ancient sky watchers of 2,000-years ago, ten additional significant celestial birth announcements just prior to Christ's birth were discovered. They were verified with additional computer programs. The first spectacular celestial events announced why the first Earth-born God would become the greatest God in the universe.
