Here is an extra special treat!This week, Rev. Ted’s friend (and dedicated astronomer) Linda Pulliah shares this insight:“Something special is happening in the sky this month. Before sunrise you can look to the east and see two bright objects, Venus and Jupiter. They are unmistakably brilliant, very different from stars. Until the 22nd of this month, the two will appear as if moving closer together. After that date they will appear to split apart again.According to charts of planetary motion, a similar conjunction occurred near the star Regulus (a very bright, blue, hot young star in the constellation Leo) within a few short years of the birth of Jesus. Because of unusual retrograde motions, that conjunction appeared over a much longer period of time—perhaps up to 18 months. It is in times like this I am certain we can use science to back up the wonderful story in the bible. Most people find it hard to understand how astronomy has strengthened my faith, but here’s a perfect example. It’s the season of Epiphany, and this month, this year, we have an opportunity to look east and witness the magic of the real likelihood of a Bethlehem star.Check out the main article for January 10th on www.spaceweather.com
