Our ancient fascination with the sky at night

Article Abstract:

Any interpretation of the Star of Bethlehem must take into account the fact that the Magi had an astronomer's interest in the night sky, mixed with an astrologer's interest in what the night sky may indicate about human life. Against this background, it is possible to argue that the Magi may not have seen a star at all. What they saw could actually have been an insignificant cosmic event with great symbolism. Some observers believe that the Bethlehem star was actually a conjunction of Saturn, Jupiter and the constellation Pisces.

What terrors the night holds

Article Abstract:

Sleepwalking is a topic which is generally not treated seriously at all. However, this practice can actually bring considerable difficulties for those it affects. It is fairly common for sleepwalkers to attack others, and some have even been confined to a psychiatric ward if a case comes to court. There is very little help available to sleepwalkers, even though they can find themselves exposed to dangerous situations.
