The smiling moon appeared on the night of December 1st 2008. The phenomenon happens every 48 years. The planet Jupiter and Venus and a crescent moon formed a smiley face that night, with the planets forming the eyes and the moon forming the mouth. Venus and Jupiter have appeared side by side in the evening sky over the last week or so and on December 1st, the ’face’ appeared.
Some people say Venus, Jupiter and the crescent moon come together to send a message of happiness to Earth. In the United States however, the effect will be inverted and will appear as a frown.
