Heavenly bodies aligning for rare cosmic smile.

From the Sydney Morning Herald:

The world may be facing its worst economic turmoil in decades, but the heavens are about to smile on Australia.

A rare cosmic alignment on Monday will produce a smiling face - or an emoticon, depending on your generation - high over the country.

From soon after 8pm until just before 11pm the planets Venus and Jupiter will stare down from the western sky like two brilliant eyes. Directly below, the crescent moon will form a happy mouth.
