:The distance from Jerusalem to Bethlehem is less than 5 miles. To navigate with this precision would require a measurement of angle from the horizon to the star with an accuracy of 5 minutes of a degree.
It is improbable that it was a normal celestial star.
=Not an asteroid=
If the star was an astroid it would need to be in a nearly geo-stationary orbit.
:Why did no one else see it?
:Why didn't the wise men show it to Herod?
=Not a ball of lightning?=
:Why didn't they point it out to Herod and say, "See! We're just following this thing."
It is improbable that it was a special ball of light.
=It is not the Star of David=
The six pointed star called the Star of David does not originate from the Star of Bethlehem. It is a late invention and is the Mogen David; the Shield of David... not star.
