Friday Art - Moon Smiley Face

 


Welcome to Friday Art!  This is my moon smiley face ACEO (2 1/2" x 3 1/2").  It was inspired by the following event.  A triple conjunction of the moon, with Saturn on the left, Venus on the right.    

"On April 25, 2025 the early morning sky treated stargazers to an extraordinary sight—a celestial smiley face formed by the rare alignment of Venus, Saturn, and the crescent Moon. This breathtaking event was visible to lucky observers across the world, filling the sky with a cosmic grin."

Details are in this article.
