Arthur C. Clarke won the Hugo Award for todays story in 1956. The story was used as part of a Christmas episode of The Twilight Zone in 1985, as TV adaptations go there were changes to the original story. In this case the most noticeable change was the ending was different.

The Star appeared in the very first issue of Infinity Science Fiction Magazine in November 1955 and the story is mentioned on the cover. When you turn to page 120 you’ll find a full page image and the text begins on page 121, The Star by Arthur C. Clarke…

Next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, A lot of glib fiction has been written about life on other planets, with space ships dropping down among alien races, zap guns decimating the enemy, while Our Hero goes after a Beautiful Princess. But Mr. Clarke takes the realistic approach. Encounter in the Dawn by Arthur C. Clarke.
