Extraterrestrial emoji! A 'smiley face' will form in the night sky this evening - here's how to spot the rare display

From your WhatsApp messages to your work emails, it can sometimes feel like emoji are everywhere you look.

But tonight, a rare astronomical display will take this to new levels - as an extraterrestrial emojii forms in the night sky.

In the early hours of the morning, a rare 'smiley face' conjunction will line up just above the horizon.

Experts say this alignment of Venus, Saturn, and the thin crescent moon will bear a striking resemblance to a smiling face turned on its side.

The good news is that you won't need a telescope to see this spectacular celestial display - you'll just need to make an early start.

The conjunction should slide into place from 05:00 BST and remain visible until just before the sun rises at 05:45 BST.

Jess Lee, astronomer at the Royal Observatory Greenwich, told MailOnline: 'You can see this just with your eyes and without any special equipment, but you'll need to be awake at 5 am and have a clear view of the east.

'You'll need to turn your head sideways and really squint, but then you might be able to see the two planets as the eyes and the moon as the mouth of the face.'

You cannot "COEXIST" with people who want to kill you.
If they kill their own with no conscience, there is nothing to stop them from killing you.
