I noticed before that it was a bit different, and that the 2 bright ones were probably planets
As long as the moon don't have a vertical smile! |

I think it's pretty cool to see other planets in our Solar System, occasionally I'll yank out the telescope for a closer look. |

As I was going into my house last night at around 8:30pm, I saw the face in the sky and to tell you the truth, it looked kinda scary. But that was a very rare phenomenon, just to have 2 planets so close to each other is rare enough as it is without the moon just underneath making a face out of it.
