It is likely unexplainable, if you do not include illumination by angels to lead the Magi.

The Magi we’re likely Zoroastrians

The fact that they needed to ask Herod for directions when they arrived suggests they were not being led to their final destination by a single bright object.

And that’s why I never ask for directions.

What was the Star of Bethlehem? Probably not a star.
I've always thought the Star of Bethlehem was a supernova, which is an exploding star. Supernovas are rare events - seen from the naked eye on earth about every 500 years. The last supernova in 1604-06 was visible in the northern hemisphere for about 2 years and had peak luminosity of a half moon.
