Bright Star around the Moon

Yakult · 2010-10-21 01:00:25

Doubt this is the right section, but the past few days (might be longer?) theirs been a really bright star following the moon around. No other stars visible but this one so im thinking it must be some alignation with another planet possibly? Anyone know it would be great! :)

Venus is usually visible close to the moon around this time of the year, so I'm assuming that's what you can see.
