The Smile in the Sky

I saw a smile in the sky this evening, at around 6pm Manila time. It was actually the convergence of Venus, Jupiter and the Moon in a way they form a smiling face. The right eye was Venus, Jupiter was the left eye, and a crescent Moon the smiling lips. Pretty cool! Happens once every blue moon, but in this case, the moon is a grin. Rarer.

Speaking of rarity, these three celestial objects also converged last february, but the Moon was not in the position to form as lips. Nevertheless, these are times a guy wishes he has telephoto lens, a big tripod, and a safe neighborhood.
