Friday "smiley face" in the sky a likely no show in Central Ohio

(WCMH) -- Friday morning, the waning crescent moon, Venus, and Saturn will be aligned in a way to create a basic sideways smiley face in the eastern sky before sunrise.

Venus will rise first in the eastern sky, just before 5 a.m. About 20 minutes later, the moon and Saturn will both rise. Venus, if the sky were clear, would be very easy to spot, as it's a very bright planet in the sky. However, Saturn is very dimly lit on a clear night and challenging to see in the night sky.

Complicating matters...
