A celestial spectacle left sky gazers in awe early this morning, as the moon appeared to smile down from the heavens. The rare planetary alignment gave the crescent moon an emoji-like appearance that sparked curiosity and wonder among the public.
In Udupi, Karnataka, people eagerly gathered to witness and photograph the fascinating sight. At around 5:30 am, the waxing crescent moon was flanked by Venus on one side and Saturn on the other, forming a formation that resembled a smiley emoji. The natural positioning of these celestial bodies created a moment of delight and surprise for early risers.
Scientific research centres have been closely monitoring such celestial events, and this particular alignment drew widespread attention. It was visible to the naked eye before sunrise, offering a brief but mesmerising experience. Many also believe that wishes made during the early Brahma Muhurta, a spiritually significant time before sunrise, are especially powerful.
In contrast, residents in Tamil Nadu’s Nilgiris district, who waited from as early as 4:30 am, were only able to glimpse the moon and a nearby star-like object. The phenomenon faded quickly, disappearing by 5:35 am, leaving some watchers disappointed, but still enchanted by the fleeting cosmic display.
