Early birds on Earth will have the chance to witness the moon teaming up with two planets to form a celestial smiley face this week.

Between 30 to 40 minutes before sunrise on Friday, April 25, a slender waning crescent moon will appear left of a bright planet Venus and the much fainter Saturn to create a tilted happy face, according to astronomy news outlet EarthSky.

The lopsided celestial smile will be visible across the eastern sky until the sun rises, EarthSky reported. However, hopeful observers must have a clear sky without clouds blocking their view in order to experience the rare occurrence.

The moon and Venus will be fairly easy to see with the naked eye, but the dimness of Saturn may post a challenge for some. Viewers are strongly advised to avoid looking at the sun’s glare without safety eyewear to avoid irreversible eye damage.

Supermoon occurring this week but you can’t see it

Another celestial event will follow the moon and planet conjunction, yet it’s sadly less visually enticing.

The closest new supermoon of 2025 is slated for Sunday, April 27. This is when the moon will be 221,917 miles from Earth, which is nearly 17,000 miles closer than the moon’s average distance of 238,900 miles, EarthSky reported.

Yet new supermoons are essentially invisible to Earthlings unlike their brighter full supermoon counterparts.
