A lovely enjoyment around the corner of astronomers and stargazers around the world. That’s because three rare planetary alignments will form huge smiling faces in the global sky. According to LiveScience, this fascinating phenomenon will be seen in a short time next week.
When will you see it?
On April 25, Venus and Saturn will be in a crescent shape with the crescent moon, so that a glittering smiley face will appear in the night sky. Although these two planets will form the “eyes” of smiling faces, the crescent moon will form its “mouth”. LivesScience reports that anyone can see anyone before sunrise on April 25 – given the good viewing conditions.
What is a three-conjunction?
When three celestial bodies are very close to each other in the sky, a three-conjunction occurs. “The thin crescent moon looks like a smile. For some, the triangle of bright objects may look like a smile,” said Brenda Culbertson, NASA’s solar system ambassador. NASA is the top NASA National Aeronautics and Space Administration.
How to view “Smiling Face”?
Planetary alignment will be early in the morning of April 25, with sunrise about an hour. “Anyone who wants to try to glimpse the conjunction should find a clear eastern horizon from which to observe,” Coulberson said. The activity will be easily seen by the naked eye, but a telescope or stargazing binoculars can make you clearer and more detailed.
