The distance from Jerusalem to Bethlehem is about six miles. Herod's scholars sent the Magi to a particular house in that same town. Now if the bible is the Word of God, without error in all that it affirms, then stars are not what we have all been quietly assuming them to be.

The STAR was a heavenly object (or being) that obeyed the Father in Heaven in order to show HIS glory by bringing faithful pagan mystics to the feet of Christ himself.
