Around 21.00hrs I observed Mars, Venus and the crescent Moon, standing close together in the western sky. There was a lot of moisture in the air, and the light pollution is severe in the west, but I still managed to see the Moon and the two planets together with Alnath (Beta Tauri) with the naked eye. |

On the image above you see Venus to the southwest and Mars to the southeast of the three-day-old Moon. To the north you can see Beta Tauri, a star with a magnitude of 1.6. This star is shared with Auriga and therefore also known as Gamma Aurigae. |
