Secrets of the Star of Bethlehem are the things revealed by taking a new, closer look!
From the sources listed, there were mentions of the "New Star" and Visions, prophecies, Visitations from angels or lights, or other unspecified signs in the heavens.
Visions or prophecies: Balaam, Micah, Isaiah, Samuel from the Book of Mormon, and Nephi mentioned in the book, 3rd Nephi,.
Visitations from, or views of Angels: Zechariah (Elizabeth's husband), Mary (the "Annunciation"), Wise men/Magi (the travelling star was an angel), and the Shepherds (twice).
Dreams from angels: Joseph (husband of Mary), twice.
Other: The Lord likely was the revelation of the 3 straight days of light (approx 36 hours);
Lights were also in the cave where Jesus was born: Seen by Joseph, Mary, the midwife, and the Shepherds; Other unspecified signs in the heavens were seen by the Nephite/Lamanite societies in the Americas.

Scriptures are not inerrant (without flaw). Alterations have occurred through translation, manuscripts have been hidden or lost or damaged. Sometimes truth is suppressed, or mankind's understanding of the truth may be incomplete in comparison to Divinity. We should never declare revelation from God as over, or canon as closed. Every group of people has a blind spot somewhere.
A few Scriptures from the Bible in support of error, suppression, or incompleteness (look up for instance, books mentioned in the current Bible which do not exist anymore);
Luke 11:52 (and the whole latter part of that chapter: Pharisees accused of withholding knowledge from the people about the Messiah;
John 9:22 People were afraid of being thrown out of the synagogue for embracing truth (about Jesus/Yeshua).
John 21:25 Jesus actually did a lot more than was written down
