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.
The above answer only applies at certain times. Since the moon and planets are always in motion but orbit in the nearly same plane all of the planets will appear next to the moon at times.
That's Venus next to the crescent Moon last night and even closer tonight.
Venus is very near the Moon yesterday and today. From Asia, it would have appeared exceptionally close last night.
nope the moon was full i can tell you that
it was half moon
Since the Moon moves across the sky about 12 degrees per night, there will be no bright star near the Moon "every night". Last night (September 11, 2009) the Moon was fairly close the Betelgeuse, the red giant star at the shoulder of Orion. Tonight, September 12, 2009, the Moon will be very near the planet Mars. Both have a similar reddish color to them.
Venus
ask your mom she was screamn the answer last night

the moon is not a planet. The moon is a natural satelite that orbits the earth. It has no light but it will emit the sun's light at night.
On May 5th 2012, the night's full moon is dubbed a "super moon. It looked larger and brighter than all other full moons that year. The Super Moon is known technically as a perigee moon, The moons distance from our planet varies constantly. Last night, the full moon appeared at the same time as at its closest point to the Earth, on the perigee side of the orbit.
earths moon
venus
no
yes (differnt person) yes there was but Planet Thea crashed into earth about 4.5 million years ago and now Planet Thea is now the moon. trust me on this answer i watched it on the science channel last night
it was a waxing gibbous last night (on Friday the 14th)
Tonight the 16th November 2009 is a new Moon, so last night there should have been no Moon visible.
Yes, it is but it is the farthest from the sun. It is the farthest and last planet from the moon.
nope the moon was full i can tell you that
