Observation 4/9/11

Tonight, I went outside to observe the sky from my driveway in Sarasota at about 10:30 p.m.  I saw some interesting sky objects in the western portion of the sky.  In the northwest, the moon was seen in its waxing crescent phase, shining brightly in a slightly tilted, smiley-face shape.  Right above the moon, I'm pretty sure I saw a couple of stars that looked like they were in the shape of the constellation Gemini.  And, just below the moon, I think I saw the constellation Taurus, with Aldebaran shining in the southern portion of the constellation.
