    >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.
