Arthur C. Clarke's "The Star"

I know I'm a few days late, but here's an episode of The Twilight Zone (1980's revival) that delivers a powerful message that fits the holiday season all too well.

Based on the Arthur C. Clarke short story of the same name, "The Star" follows the crew of a survey ship (including a Jesuit Priest and a physicist) who discover the remnants of a long-dead civilization and along with it, a surprising secret. The episode version, however, ends on a much more positive note than Clarke's original story, thanks to the Twilight Zone producers.
