Births

Possible birthdate of Jesus, April 17. "[Michael Molnar] announced 10 years ago his conclusion that the [Star of Bethlehem] was in fact a double eclipse of Jupiter in a rare astrological conjunction that occurred in Aries on March 20, 6 BC, and again on April 17, 6 BC. ... Mr. Molnar believes that Roman astrologers would have interpreted the double-eclipse as signifying the birth of a divine king in Judea."
