Rare ‘smiley face’ will light up the night sky on April 25

Skywatchers are in for a treat on April 25 as Venus, Saturn, and the moon align in a rare triple conjunction to form a smiley face in the sky. This cosmic event will occur around 5:30 AM EST, just before dawn, and will last for about an hour near the eastern horizon. The alignment will create a smiley face pattern, with Venus as the higher “eye,” Saturn as the lower “eye,” and the crescent moon forming the grin slightly lower and farther north.

NASA Solar System Ambassador Brenda Culbertson advises skywatchers to find a clear eastern horizon to observe the triple conjunction. While the smiley face will be visible to the naked eye, using a backyard telescope or binoculars can provide a closer look at the moon’s details.

In addition to the triple conjunction, there is a possibility of spotting Mercury below the alignment, depending on your location. However, Mercury may remain below the horizon for many observers. Unlike some regional sky events that are limited to specific locations, the triple conjunction will be visible to people around the world.

This celestial show comes shortly after the peak of the Lyrid meteor shower, which is expected to produce up to 15 meteors per hour under dark skies. The shower’s peak is between 10:30 PM and 5:00 AM local time from April 21-22, making it a perfect opportunity for night owl observers to witness this natural phenomenon.

As skywatchers eagerly anticipate the triple conjunction, it’s a reminder of the beauty and wonder of the universe that surrounds us. Whether you’re a seasoned stargazer or just curious about the night sky, this event is a unique opportunity to witness a rare cosmic alignment that is sure to leave a smile on your face.
