Oh darling, seeing a moving star in the sky usually means you're witnessing a shooting star or a satellite pass overhead. Some people might see it as a sign of luck or a wish come true, but let's not get too ahead of ourselves. It's just nature doing its thing, no need to read too much into it.
Because what you are actually seeing is light from the Sun being reflected towards Earth.
It depends on the time of year and where the planets are in their orbits. In many cases the "star" is not a star at all but a planet. Venus is the most likely candidate.
You mean "what is moving the stars?" Well, I answer you with this: nothing. The stars are not moving. No stars move. The closest you will ever get to see a star moving is when Justin Beiber moves from LA to Miami.

When you see what appears to be a star next to the moon, it is likely a planet such as Venus or Jupiter. Planets are often visible near the moon due to their brightness and positioning in the sky. It is a common phenomenon in the night sky.

they look at the sky and say hi to barney
There are thousands of stars visible to the naked eye, all around the sky; it would be strange if there were NOT a star visible in the sky near the Moon. But you asked this question on May 16, 2010, and presumably it was not an "ordinary" star. Last night, the planet Venus was very close to the Moon in the sky; that's probably what you were seeing.
They craped in the toilet and Looked up in the sky and said sh!t Sirius is moving away from earth.

Usually, you see this when Earth moves. It still looks like the star is moving across the night sky, but really your view is changing. This is similar to when you look at a still object while you are moving.

No, by the time star light reaches your eyes, the stars have moved on. So we see the stars in a position as they once where.
Sirius also known as the dog star is the brightest star in the sky.
Another Star in the Sky was created in 1994.
