Some astronomers believe that the star of Bethlehem that signalled the birth of Jesus Christ may have been a nova or a supernova, the magnificent explosion of a star.

...and the billions of poor, innocent, beings of that star system murdered for some beacon for a bunch of human sages! ;-)

Actually, Adamant, your quip was the basis for one of the "modern" Twilight Zone or Outer Limits episodes. An Earth vessel visits a dead world where once a great civilization existed. One of the archeologists, a priest, has his faith shaken to the core when the team learns the star that roasted the planet may have been the famous one described in the Bible. I won't say anymore just in case you ever have the opportunity to view a rerun. It may have been based upon a short story or novella, but I can't remember. Sincerely, Bill
