According to some astronomers the "Star of Bethlehem" was probably a certain "star," more likely a planet, that appeared and moved thorough a specific constellation that astrologers in Persia noticed that meant something to them.

There is a theory that what they saw was Jupiter and Venus travelling through Aries.The Ram was the symbol of Israel and Jupiter traveling through it was thought to symbolize royalty or a king.

@irishwonder1973: Not sure which planet or constellation now. But do remember that it was a planet that represented Israel to them moving through a constellation that symbolized royalty.
