According to Culbertson, Venus will be the higher of the two “eyes” while Saturn will be the lower, and the thin, crescent moon grin will appear slightly lower and farther north. The smile will be visible to the naked eye, although a backyard telescope or pair of binoculars should allow you to get a better look at the moon’s details.

Venus and Saturn will be in just the correct spot in their revolution around the sun to match up with the waning crescent moon, making the smiley face appear. Everything is expected to line up Friday morning around 5:30 a.m.

This week, a rare triple conjunction will align Venus, Saturn and the moon. The trio will offer a grin for about an hour around 5:30 a.m. EST on April 25. You can catch a glimpse before the sun begins to rise on Friday.
