What is it when you see what appears to be a star next to the moon?

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.
