A smiley face moon on April 25, 2025? Not exactly. But, yeah, kinda. While there is a crescent moon in the sky 30 minutes before sunrise on April 25 with two bright planets nearby, it won’t be nearly as dramatic as some images suggest.
There are two big differences between reality and the image that’s circulating. One, the two planets that make up the “eyes” of the smiley face have vastly different brightnesses. And, two, the “smiley face” will be lying on its side.
