The Christmas Orb

More and more astronomical scholars are bucking tradition to state their belief that the Star of Bethlehem - also known as the Christmas Star - was not a star at all, but a red ascending orb of the 2nd magnitude. Some think such a pronouncement a little far-fetched, reasoning it's far more likely the Jewel of Bethlehem to have been an ascending orb of the 3rd magnitude at most. And I'm inclined to believe them.But no matter what religion you ascribe to, I think we can all agree that the glorious Orb of Bethlehem revealed to all mankind the miraculous birth of Jesus Christ, Our Lord and Savior, through whom all good things come.
