Around 6am local time this morning the people of Bethlehem (and many other places) saw a huge meteor. The object's brightness was estimated at magnitude -28, or slightly brighter than the Sun. That's some shit. They said it had a tail or trail, and then it broke up into fragments; each with their own tail and at a magnitude of about -23, or a little less bright than the Sun, which clocks in at -27. That's some shit too. A shooting star that was brighter than the Sun, and seen in broad daylight. It left the people somewhat shaken, and understandably so. Was the "Star of Bethlehem" really a meteor? Nah, it was Planet X.
