How to see shooting stars and a smiley face in the Phoenix sky

Turn your attention upward early tomorrow morning for a chance to see a couple of rare celestial shows.

Zoom in: At about 5:30am, the waning crescent moon will align with Venus and Saturn to look like a smiley face, Phoenix New Times reports.

Reality check: It won't appear as dramatic as the emoji-like photos making the rounds on social media, EasrthSky.org cautions.

• The face will be lopsided and the "eyes" won't quite match — Venus will be bright and Saturn will be dimmer.
• Yes, but: With enough imagination you can appreciate the "triple conjunction," as it's scientifically called.

Meanwhile, keep an eye out for shooting stars.

• The Lyrids meteor shower and Eta Aquarids shower are currently active and will overlap through Saturday.
