The Star Of Bethlehem…A Clockwork Star

This is one of the coolest programs I’ve ever seen, and I wanted to share it with the Right Soup for Christmas.

Schorn founded and served as Chief of the Planetary Astronomy department at NASA and was Technical Editor of Sky & Telescope magazine. He is the author of Planetary Astronomy.
