Years ago, and it might have stolen the story from somewhere else, there was a Twilight Zone/Outer Limits/Tales from the Darkside type show and in one episode space explorers are visiting the remains of a charred planet ~2,000 light years away. They learn the star that went supernovae and that it is the star the three wise men followed to Bethlehem.

>Years ago, and it might have stolen the story from somewhere else, Yes they did. It was Arthur C. Clarke's "The Star"[0]. And it was "The Twilight Zone" (1980s version). While the TV episode was interesting, the short story itself is much better. I highly recommend it. The story was in the "The Nine Billion Names of God" collection[1]. The title story is also interesting in its religious focus.
