It may seem the universe is smiling down on Virginia during a rare triple celestial conjunction that will look like a smiley face from Earth in the predawn hours of Thursday and Friday. The National Weather Service forecast calls for mostly clear conditions Thursday morning and partly cloudy skies on Friday.

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.
