Join physicist Prof. Grant Mathews as he shares the astrophysical details about the well-documented Christmas Star. Was it a comet, a nova, a supernova, or a planet alignment? And who were the wise men from the East?

This free event is open to the public.

A second opportunity to attend this lecture will be held on Sunday, December 11 from 3:00 - 4:00 p.m. in the Digital Visualization Theater, Jordan Hall of Science.
