The heavenly smile was was seen on Earth on Monday December 2, 2008 in a rare combination of Venus, Jupiter, and the Moon.
These two planets aligned and were joined by a thin sliver smile of moon on Monday.
This planetary meeting was visible from all parts of the world, even from light-polluted cities such as Hong Kong and New York.
The next visible Venus-Jupiter conjunction will be on the evening of March 14, 2012, but the two planets will appear farther apart in the sky.
