"Last night" would have been Oct. 26, 2009. If it was to the left of the Moon then it would have been Jupiter.
You see Jupiter as a bright star. Only the Sun, the Moon, and Venus get to be brighter than that.
The sun
It was a full moon June 26th 2010, the next full moon is July 26th 2010.
the moon orbits around the earth constantly. The earth is always closest. _____________________ The last few evenings, Venus has been that extra-bright planet in the sky right next to the Moon.
mind
no
it was a waxing gibbous last night (on Friday the 14th)
The next full moon, also known as the "Full Moon Cat," is scheduled to appear in the night sky on date.
Tonight the 16th November 2009 is a new Moon, so last night there should have been no Moon visible.
the next book is night whispers and then sign of the moon and then the last hope but the last hope hasnt been released yet and it is being released in march 2012
"Waxing" is growing BIGGER from one night to the next."Waning" is shrinking SMALLER from one night to the next.
full moon
Venus is very near the Moon yesterday and today. From Asia, it would have appeared exceptionally close last night.
