  5. This settings file reproduces the extremely close conjunction of Venus and Jupiter on June 17th, 2 B.C. as it would have appeared from Jerusalem through a small telescope.  To the naked eye, Venus and Jupiter came so close that they would have appeared to merge.  Was this rare and spectacular event referred to in the Bible as the Christmas Star?
