Moon, Venus and two stars

Wonderful sight tonight of the crescent moon next to Venus. High above are Mars and the twins Castor and Pollux of the constellation, Gemini. Picture taken with the Vivo 1920 mobile phone at about 8.55pm. (Note: My eyesight is not what it used to be. My wife could see Mars and the two stars with her unaided eyes, and I could not. Instead, I had to use the mobile to snap a picture in order to see the points of light!)
