The 3 brightest stars in the Orion Belt aptly called "The Three Kings" (see link "The Three Kings of Orion" below).

The star Sirius or Dog Star. When Sirius aligns with the Three Kings star of the Orion Belt on the night of the Dec 24th, it will point where the new Sun of the winter solstice (when the day will be longer than night) will rise on the morning of Dec 25th. Depending on where you live, you can observe this alignment with naked eye on the night of Dec 24, mark where it points and observe where the sun rises on Dec 25.

When Daniel instructed the Chaldeans to watch for the Star of Bethlehem did he also instruct them to give gifts for the King?

AnswerThe Book of Daniel is written as if it were a record of Daniel during the Babylonian Exile, subject to the Chaldeans. The book never mentions Bethlehem nor a star that could be called a star of Bethlehem. The understanding that it does do so could relate to an erroneous belief that this book in some way foreshadows the birth of Jesus. In the Book of Daniel, Daniel instructs the Chaldeans neither to watch for the Star of Bethlehem nor, in that context, to give gifts for the King.
