This once-in-a-lifetime phenomena occurs when a couple of planets or a singular planet come close to one another or the moon.
Paul Delaney, an astronomy professor at York University said that Saturn, Jupiter and moon coming together will somewhat look like a smiley face in the northern hemisphere and the people in the southern hemisphere will witness it as an upside-down smiley.
Time to make the most of this lockdown, right?
