Excellent example. Almost certainly a myth and legend, like the rest of the Bible.

And now for a more informed approach:
Much of the Bible is concerned with the Christ. myth???? no, there is independent testimony by at least one Historian of the time. Research Antiquities of the Jews book 18 chapter three verses one-three.(Josephus, a Jewish historian and Roman citizen through adoption by the Emperor Flavian, and not a Christian).
I can agree that Astronomers are waisting their time trying to identify the 'Star of Bethlehem'. The text clearly shows it to be other than celestial. If they bothered to gather all the information available, no such search would ever have been conducted.
