My daughter Kat took this picture of last night’s `smiley face’ in the sky – amazingly,she did it with my fairly ordinary Canon Power Shot! She fiddled the settings until she got what she wanted – something I probably would never have thought of!
The face is formed by Jupiter and Venus as the eyes and the upturned moon as the mouth in the sign of Capricorn. It’s said to be a good omen – though it has been seen as a grumpy face with the moon turned down. It will be five years before such a configuration occurs again.

Don’t Worry! Be happy!
Celestial Smilie Faces rock!
A once in a lifetime shot! It brought a smile to my face. And it was so exciting seeing these three heavenly bodies so close together. The universe is most certainly the giver of gifts.

It’s a beautiful picture, Gail. Good for Kat! I wish I had made more of an effort to get out and see this for myself.
This is just so beautiful. I copied it to my computer so I can email it to my daughter. She is intrigued by stares, so this will see her smiling. Thanks for sharing.
