Magic Moment

The beautiful Christmas star was apparently just a comet, a cluster of gas and dust? Seven-year-old Kim is stunned at what she hears on the radio. Although astrophysicist Arthur Sanftleben has many exciting stories to tell about an unusual meeting of Jupiter and Saturn, it is Max, a Star Wars fan and stargazer of the same age, who shows Kim that science and miracles don’t have to rule each other out. A very special Christmas story: poetic, mysterious and radiant, just like the Christmas star itself.
