Thais urged to observe a rare a rare celestial trifecta of Venus, Jupiter, and the moon Saturday evening.

The alignment of the crescent moon, which looks like the smile, and the two planets, which will look like eyes, will happen on the western horizontal from 6:44 pm to 9:30 pm Saturday night.

i think you will find just about anywhere that has a open view to the west and the horizon. I see Jupiter almost every night just by looking up towards the west. One of the brightest "stars" in the western sky. But it is partly overcast today in HH, so maybe no go on this display tonight.

Look to the Western sky right now!

Not quite as good as the previous one a few years ago. Very crooked 'smile' which spoiled the illusion.
