A:Halley's Comet appeared in 66 CE and aroused tremendous interest. The Jewish priest and military commander, Josephus, told his captor, Vespasian, that the star meant that Vespasian was the promised Messiah and that Vespasian was destined to become emperor of Rome. When this came to be, Vespasian adopted Josephus into his family and allowed him to use the imperial family name.

The author of Matthew's Gospel would have been aware of the 'Star' and one theory is that he used it as the inspiriation for his story of the Star of Bethlehem.
