On April 25, 2025, early risers can witness a rare “cosmic smile” just before sunrise. At about 5:30 a.m. local time, **Venus, Saturn, and a crescent moon will align** in the eastern sky to form a smiley face—*“Venus, the brightest planet, will form one ‘eye,’ Saturn the other, and the moon will serve as the ‘smile.’”*

The best view is from dark, open places with a clear eastern horizon, like *“rural areas, beaches, or high ground.”* No telescope is needed, but binoculars or a smartphone app can enhance the experience. A tripod and long exposure can help capture the moment.

Dress warmly and bring a hot drink. It’s a great family-friendly event—*“Kids can draw what they see or learn fun facts about the planets.”*

This event is *“globally visible with the right conditions.”* Check the weather and head out about an hour before sunrise to get the best view.

Don’t miss this rare, joyful sight—*“nature’s own smile in the sky.”*
