I just HAD to share this with everyone...I looked out our bedroom window tonight and saw a beautiful smiley face in the night sky!
No wonder the ancients worshipped the moon and stars. :shock:

Some people have better cameras than I do (which isn't difficult really).
Check out the slideshow linked through the news.com.au website

I saw it and photographed it too. (last night).
it was awesome, my husband said the eyes are venus and jupiter, which (astrologically speaking) are planets of love and abundance.
so its a realllllly special smiley in the sky ! :)

Hi Shaz
Yes I saw it all last night also. Just brilliant and when Budi came home from work I told him that I had arranged the 'smiley face' just for him. I tried to take a photo and it turned out just like yours. I am not a photographer that's for sure.

daft me, i read your link AFTER i wrote Venus and Jupiter.. :roll:
but thanks for that,now i can confirm to my husband what a clever smartie he is.. hahhaha

I tried a few times to photo it but just the moon came out...so I guess you all have better cameras than me :(

Saw it last night in Kazakhstan although it was a touch more lob sided than the picture posted here. I was amazed just how clear it was :D

We had a great view from the top level of Malaiku Restaurant in Lovina - but no camera. Some reports say it won't happen again until 2036 - for example:

I watched it last night, Dec 1, 17:00, EST. It's no longer smiling but frowning :([attachment=0:2ltuv0p9]conjunction2.jpg[/attachment:2ltuv0p9]

TinTin, in the link which shaz posted it does say it would be seen as a frown in America.
actually, last night i watched it again (i was standing in the same spot as the night before when it was a smiley) and this time it appeared as a frown.
(different phase of moon).

I looked last night and it was more of a frown. News in Australia, which could be wrong said that it would not ocurr again until 2036.
