Smiley

*smiley gets shoved into explore-december 5, 2008. thank you all for the views, comments and faves.*

 

here's something quite amusing from a few nights ago... the night sky was literally smiling at me. then i read on yahoo.com a few days later (read on below...)

 

"A rare positioning of planets Venus (top left) and Jupiter (top right) and the crescent moon of the Earth provides a 'smiley' effect that captivated Asia Monday night Dec. 2, 2008.

 

The planets Venus, top left, and Jupiter, top right, came in close proximity with the moon as seen from Earth. In reality, Venus is almost 100 million miles way and Jupiter nearly 550 million miles from our planet. The moon is 252,000 miles away. The exact combination of planets and the moon in the right place to appear together, even when they aren't high enough in the evening sky to be appreciated, won't happen again until 2052." -yahoo.com

 

so i guess the next time i see something like this i'll be reincarnated into another someone or maybe... =)
