planets and moon form "smiling face"in the night sky over guangzhou






An interesting scene appeared in the sky across China during the early evening of December 1st, created by two planets situated above the moon.

The two planets were Venus and Jupiter, which shone like "eyes" above the "smiling" crescent moon, forming a charming and rarely seen image – a giant happy face in the sky.

Many local people took photographs of it, and even compared it the face of pop hero Nowara Shnnosuke, the main character from a naughty Japanese cartoon popular in Guangdong and Hong Kong.
