Moon, Mars, Aldebaran after Sunset - Venus brightest appearance in the Morning Sky

On April 27 the crescent moon makes a brief appearance just after sunset.
The moon passes rather close to the red star Aldebaran and the ruddy planet Mars over the next few days.

Aldebaran, the brightest star in the constellation Taurus the Bull, shines twice as brilliantly as Mars does. You might actually need binoculars to spot Mars and the Pleiades star cluster.
