The celestial smiley!

Here’s a lovely picture sent by Arvind Paranjpye of the Inter-University Centre for Astronomy and Astrophysics in Pune. Arvind has done a little computer graphic to show us what the western sky will look like on December one when Venus, Jupiter and the Moon come together in a celestial triangle. He tells us that it isn’t such a rare event though. What makes it a pretty picture is that it looks like a smiley pasted on the evening sky!
