Australians looking skyward this evening will be greeted by a ” celestial smiley face “—thanks to the prime positioning of Venus, Jupiter and a waxing crescent moon, report good-humored astronomers.
Local astronomers said that Venus and Jupiter had appeared side by side in the evening sky over the past week or so, but Monday night would be the best night to see the “face” appear.
Viewers in Western Australia have the best view, with the moon appearing closer to the “eyes” formed by the planets . . . .
In the United States, the effect will be inverted and will appear as a frown.
