Giant Frowny Face in the sky tonight.

Supposedly, Venus & Jupiter, will be visible to the naked eye in the sky tonight, above a thin crescent moon to form a frown-y face.

Is God trying to tell us something?

who wants to take a picture for those of us who are supposed to have too much cloud cover to see it?

[SpeedRacer 1]

Actually, they have a link to a video simulation. If it is accurate, it will be a sort of sideways or upside down frowny face. With the eyes slightly below and to the right of the mouth.

It was a crooked face last night. Looking forward to seeing this tonight.

Be yourself!
MooOOooOoo

Yes, it was. Pretty cool, though. Hopefully the clouds will clear up so can see it tonight.

Be patient with the faults of others; they have to be patient with yours.

Apparently, Australians got to see a proper right-side-up smiley face.
In America we'll be getting a sort sidways, half-upsidedown frowny face.
In Europe and Africa, they will see some kind of mutated sureal fucked-up version.

It got really cloudy and rainy right before sunset... but then cleared right out. Absolutely (and pointlessly) beautiful day. Always has to happen right after a gross weekend to mess with us.

It's completely clear skies here, not sure if my camera will take a decent picture of it though.

I saw it earlier and all I had to say was, "Wow. That's fucking awesome." Clear skies tonight.

Been watching Venus and Jupiter for a couple of weeks now right at dark. Would make a cool night jump background. Every August 12th (or around there) the summer meteror shower happens-we always have a party celebrate-nothing like watching 60+ falling stars an hour. Mother nature always has the best show.
