Enchanting Light
The Christmas star, which we hang as decoration or attach to the top of our Christmas tree, is said to have illuminated the path of the Three Wise Men to the manger. Today, it has established itself as a decorative star that brightly adorns our homes every year – even if it's sometimes attached crookedly and a bit wobbly.
Fun fact: People used to believe that the Christmas star could grant wishes – so perhaps it's worth believing if you see one!
Did you know?
Stars are essentially gigantic, glowing balls of gas that have been illuminating our universe for billions of years – and we simply gaze in wonder from afar. The light from stars travels at a speed of almost 300,000 kilometers per second! The speed of light is the fastest speed possible in the universe. So, we often see stars as they were millions of years ago because their light takes so long to reach us – that's essentially the cosmic time machine in action!
