The viral claim that a smiley face will appear in the sky on April 25, 2025, made up of the crescent moon and two planets, has some basis in truth. But experts say the visual will not be quite as ...

At around 5:30 AM EST, Venus, Saturn, and the moon will briefly align during a rare triple conjunction to resemble a smiley face when viewed from Earth.

The smiley face happens when Saturn and Venus align with the crescent moon. According to NASA, Venus will be the higher of the “eyes,” while Saturn will be the lower.
