Moon with the Jewels of Taurus (evening)

After posing near Jupiter the day before, Thursday evening, April 11 will
have the waxing crescent moon hop higher in the western sky to shine above
and between two jewels of Taurus in early evening. The bright little
Pleiades star cluster, also known as the Seven Sisters and Messier 45, will
be located to the moon’s lower right (or celestial west). The larger and sparser Hyades star cluster, which forms the triangular face of Taurus, the Bull, will twinkle off to the moon’s left (celestial south). The bright planet Jupiter shining above the horizon might catch your eye.
