What about using this as APOD on 05 July?

Well, I wonder if anyone saw (and still remember) the smiling face that appeared on 1 December, 2008?

Now that Venus and Jupiter came together again, and the Moon is roughly at the opposite position of the two planets, I realized that Earth would appear very close to the planets if looked from the Moon. Luckily, I found that a smiling face, even bigger and cuter than that in 2008, would appear on 5 July morning. That's cool, isn't it?

The pictures that I show here (generated by the software Stellarium) are maybe too coarse and unrealistic for APOD. I'm not sure if anyone is interested in drawing a more realistic picture, or if anybody responsible for updating APOD is looking at this board. Just sharing this idea with you all.

I have re-posted the second image on the correct board. Sorry for having posting this at the (perhaps) wrong place.
