Neptune!
On February 27, 2009, the bright star or planet above the moon would likely have been either the planet Jupiter or the star Regulus. Jupiter is often visible as a bright point of light in the night sky, and Regulus is one of the brightest stars in the constellation Leo, located near the ecliptic where the moon frequently passes.
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.
The bright star below the moon could be the planet Venus. Venus is often visible in the night sky and appears as one of the brightest objects after the moon.
The faintest star visible to the naked eye typically has an apparent magnitude of around 6. This is near the limit of human eye sensitivity under optimal viewing conditions.
That actually not a star but the planet Venus.You could also be referring to the planet Mercury. It can be seen just before Sunrise and just after Sunset. As mercury is nearest planet to the Sun, it is always seen very close to the Sun in the Sky. We can't see it in the morning because the is too bright and at night it is below the horizon. Hence, it is visible only for a few moments just before Sunrise and just after Sunset very near the horizon.
Venus is the brightest star. It is also the hottest planet it reflects a lot of light from the sun and we can see it as a bright dot in the sky.

as far as i know, it is the hottest planet in the solar system
The large bright object you are seeing early in the morning in Chicago is most likely the planet Venus. Venus is often visible in the early morning sky as the "Morning Star." It is one of the brightest objects in the sky after the Sun and the Moon.
Jupiter is the only bright planet near Aldebaran just now (Feb. 2013).
venus
We can usually distinguish them. If it's twinkling then its a star. If it's not twinkling then it's a planet, unless it's a star that's very high in the sky.
No. The sun is a star, not a planet. It is by no means the brightest star either. It only appears so bright because it is much closer to us than any other star.

Venus is sometimes called "the evening star", although it is a planet. This because it is very bright and always appears close to the Sun in the sky. So, sometimes it appears in the evening as the Sun sets, looking like a very bright star.
sometimes you can see the planet venus!
