After passing close to Jupiter a couple of days ago the Moon can be seen just below Mars on April 4th and on April 5th it will be just above Mars which is in the constellation of Gemini the twins. Mars is near Pollux and Castor the two brightest stars in Gemini.
Last night April 1st it was possible to see Earthshine on the Moon this is when light from the Sun is reflected from the Earth onto the Moon and we can see the dark ghostly outline of the unlit part of the Moon, you might be able to see it again tonight.
