Astronomer Phil Plait spoke about various space-related news and stories. An asteroid (2007 WD5) has a 1 in 75 chance (possibly 1 in 25) of hitting Mars on Jan. 30th. [...] Regarding theories about the Star of Bethlehem, Plait suggested there could have been a conjunction of planets such as Jupiter and Venus, and the story got exaggerated over the years. He shared his favorite astronomy images of 2007 [...] We might have an understanding of the universe's mysterious dark matter within five years, Plait said. He also touched on such topics as the eventual death of our sun, NASA's upgrades for Hubble, and gamma ray bursts.
