A Morning Smiley Face

On the morning of April 25, 2025, just before sunrise in Alabama, a rare celestial event will occur. The Moon, Venus, Saturn, and Mercury will align in the eastern sky, forming a ‘smiley face’ pattern. Venus and Saturn will appear as the eyes, with the crescent Moon as the mouth. This alignment will be visible to the naked eye without special equipment. For the best view, find a location with an unobstructed eastern horizon and look up about 40 minutes before sunrise.
