Another astronomy post 'n' run

Sorry, I'm crazy busy.

Set your Alarm: Jupiter, Venus, and the Moon will be Aligning to form a smiley face

‘Smiley face’ – when you hear that, most likely you would think of an emoticon, not planets aligning to form one! The moon, Jupiter and Venus are going to be showing off for us on the 16th of May 2020, by aligning in a rare position that will form a smiley face in the sky!

Are we sure about this?
I've got Jupiter and Saturn next to each other in May and the moon passing underneath them on the 12th-13th, but Venus is nowhere near them.

I just fired up Stellarium to check you're and right. You're not going to get a smiley face out of that, either as it'll be very wonky.
