Venus, Jupiter, and the Moon are going to form a smiley face tonight.
In the last week in November and the first week of December 2008, the two brightest planets, Venus and Jupiter, will be close together in the evening sky, forming a spectacular double. The two are closest together on Monday December 1st, with Venus lying about 2 degrees to the South (left) of Jupiter. On the same night the Crescent Moon will appear just beneath them, forming a “Smiley Face”.
Picture taken tonight in Kalgoorlie Western Australia.
Apparently this wont happen again until July 21st 2036.

Cool!
I witnessed a very straight line last night created by Two starts (I assume Venus and Jupiter) in the Western sky, pointing to the south west.
It was such a distint line that I had to pause outside in the cold weather to truly behold the sight.
I'll be looking to the skies again tonight.
