Cosmic Smile: A Rare Astronomical Event Will Be Visible in the Sky.


On Friday, April 25, a rare astronomical event will be visible - a triple conjunction of the Moon, Venus, and Saturn. According to scientists from NASA, this will create a similarity to a smile in the sky. If the weather is clear, an hour before sunrise, you will be able to see the unusual 'cosmic smile.' Venus and Saturn will be positioned close to each other, forming the 'eyes,' while the crescent Moon will become the 'smile' of this 'heavenly face.'
This triple conjunction is a rare event when three celestial bodies are located at a close distance to each other. Usually, we manage to observe the conjunction of two celestial bodies, but seeing a 'cosmic smile' is rare.
It is forecasted that Venus will be brighter and positioned higher above the horizon than Saturn. The Moon will be located below these planets, forming a triangle that resembles a smiling face. However, with the first rays of the sun, this spectacle will disappear.
Astronomers warn that due to the difference in brightness between Venus and Saturn, the 'cosmic smile' may be slightly skewed, with one 'eye' appearing dimmer than the other. Nevertheless, even in this form, the phenomenon promises to be an unforgettable spectacle for all astronomy enthusiasts and romantics.
Let us remind you that the all-female crew of the tourist rocket New Shepard, which includes famous American singer Katy Perry and the fiancée of Blue Origin founder Jeff Bezos - Lauren Sanchez, successfully returned to Earth after their flight into space.
