NASA discovery ‘reveals’

NASA may have confirmed the exact date of Jesus’ crucifixion by using a combination of biblical references, lunar cycle data, and the Jewish calendar. While it’s been long believed that Jesus died on Good Friday, April 3, AD 33, NASA’s astronomical modeling supports this date too. This aligns with scripture in Matthew 27:45, which describes a period of darkness from noon to 3 p.m. as Jesus hung on the cross. Coincidentally, a lunar eclipse—where the moon appears red, or like “blood”—occurred on that same day, which some biblical scholars believe matches descriptions in the Bible.

In the 1990s, NASA noted that the phrase “the moon turned to blood” in Christian texts may point to that eclipse. Experts from the University of Oxford also referenced prophecies in the Old Testament, particularly Joel’s, which mentioned celestial signs coinciding with a significant spiritual event. Although the date of the Crucifixion has long been debated, these findings—based on historical lunar eclipses and ancient calendar reconstructions—have led many to accept April 3, AD 33 as the most likely date of Jesus’ death.
