Smiley face in the night sky - DiscussWorldIssues - Socio-Economic Religion and Political Uncensored Debate

**k5wTvu9f** · 02-12-2008, 10:23 AM

So was going for my nightly walk to a park near a lake I live near so I can enjoy the views of the stars in the sky and the lights flickering off the water when I saw a rather unusual sighting. Two fairly bright stars above a quarter moon which looked like a smily face. I was astounded and thought the view was really awesome.

Later that night a mate on xfire (Who lived in another country) came in and asked where I live and I asked "why?" when he linked me this site and it seems someone in Melbourne had taken a picture of it. Well, I thought I'd show you all as apparently it only occurs once every 35-40 years.

However the smiley face I saw was slightly thinner, more yellow in colour and brighter.

I seen it to. It was very cool! I read somewhere that Venus and Jupiter won't be aligned like this again untill 2052 or something like that.
