On the morning of Friday, April 25, early risers will be treated to a delightful celestial event: a rare alignment of the crescent Moon, Venus, and Saturn forming a "smiley face" in the sky. This phenomenon, known as a triple conjunction, occurs when three celestial bodies appear close together from our viewpoint on Earth. In this case, Venus will be the brightest and highest, Saturn will sit lower, and the thin crescent Moon will form the "smile" beneath them. People.com
When and Where to Look:To catch this cosmic grin, head outside around 5:30 a.m. BST, just before sunrise. Look towards the eastern horizon with an unobstructed view. While the spectacle is visible to the naked eye, using binoculars or a telescope can enhance the experience, and you might even spot Mercury nearby. People.com
So, set your alarm a bit earlier, grab a warm drink, and enjoy this cheerful celestial event. It's a perfect way to start the day with a smile from the universe!
