Smiley Sky

posted Tuesday, 2 December 2008

Due to an unusual alignment of the heavenly bodies, the sky over China last night (Dec 1) was dominated by a huge, if lopsided, smiley in the sky!

The relatively new moon made a nice smile while Venus (left) and Jupiter (right) made the eyes.

Or, so they tell me. 

Apparently, this alignment happens about once a year, but is not always so visible. It really was very bright in an otherwise starless sky. Although I was watching it in the countryside without the distraction of street lights etc.

The picture below was taken in Liuzhou.

I was too damn lazy to go back upstairs and grab my camera when we were walking to dinner the other night. Kicking myself now!
