I read in a magazine 2 days ago that it is Venus.
Ah, that celestial body making the night sky so magical is called the moon, my friend. It twinkles and sparkles, spreading its soft light like a blanket of comfort and wtenderness over all who pause to admire it. Embrace its gentle glow and let its presence fill you with peace and wonder.
The bright object you see directly above the moon tonight could likely be the planet Jupiter, as it is currently visible in the night sky and is one of the brightest celestial objects. Jupiter is known for its brightness and can often be seen near the moon in the night sky.
The bright spot near the moon tonight is likely a planet like Venus or Jupiter. Planets are often visible near the moon, appearing as bright points of light in the night sky.
"shining" is the adjective in the sentence "the full moon is shining in the sky."
From earth, as of 27-Feb-2012, the moons position in the sky is close to Jupiters. The planet venus is also in the same vicinity, further to the right and down a bit. This answer will be invalid in a few days time though, so if your looking at this from the future, then please ignore it.
Venus
Jupiter!

The Earth spinning around it's own axis and the sun shining on one side of the planet, the moon is out on the other.

Yes, it is a new moon tonight.
Ah, isn't that just beautiful? The moon is shining brightly tonight because it's reflecting the sun's light back to us. It's like holding a mirror up to something bright – you get a lovely glow shining all around. Nature sure knows how to create magic and bring light to our dark nights.
The story "The Case of the Shining Blue Planet" was written in 1964 by Robert Silverberg.
