A Conjunction in company of the Twins!

Another 23rd and another Venus Moon close conjunction but this time waxing crescent (15% illumination) and planet Venus were surrounded by the brightest stars of the Twins ( Gemini constellation) Pollux and Castor above and planet Mars towards left. Apart from that the background stars and thin high clouds made the conjunction more magical.
Pollux is the 18th brightest star of the night sky and is just 34 light years away from us whereas Castor is 51 light years away and it's light actually is a combination of 6 stars. The mass of all six stars together is, very roughly, about six times that of our sun.
