Some Mysteries have explanation now

Snowman is melting

The temperature is obviously important, but the packing of the snows has a big effect as well. For example, snowballs are harder to make when the snow is particularly cold because the warmth of the hands doesn’t melt the snow crystals together.

THE STAR OF BETHLEHEMExplanation• It was a comet• conjunction of planets• Exploding star

The conclusion is the star of Bethlehem cannot be naturally explained by science! It was a temporary and supernatural light.
