12. Jingle bell rock: The Three Wise Men, Gold and the Star of Bethlehem

In our Christmas special, we discuss the journey of the Three Wise men, or Magi, who were guided by a star to the birthplace of Jesus. Although this does not seem related to geology, the star has been correlated to numerous astronomical events, from comets to supernovae, and a phenomenon called a conjunction. We also discussed where the Magi possibly sourced the gold, and how the gold formed in the first place. Merry Christmas Follow us on Insta @coepod, X @thecoepod, and TikTok @coepod.
