Most likely you haven't noticed Venus before because it wasn't so close to the moon.
Look again tomorron night and you will see the moon will have moved quite a distance from it, but Venus is still there as bright as tonight.

It is cloudy here tonight. :-(
But that bright star is Venus.
You never saw it before because you didn't look before. Venus has been that bright in that part of the sky for a couple months now, but the Moon wasn't close to it, so it never caught you attention. Tonight only, the Moon is very near. It must make a nice pair. I wish I could see it! Stupid clouds.
Oh! I just went outside and the pair is peeking dimly through the clouds. Nice. Not great, but nice.

So glad you asked, cuz now I don't have to. lol. I figured it was a planet because no other stars are visible yet, but there was a super-bright "star" right next to the moon. I went to Stardate.org and had it narrowed down to Mercury or Venus.

in keeping with probability something by using Micheal Buble or Frank Sintara. something with massive notes and intense tiers many times impresses human beings. old instruct tunes are advantageous too:) in keeping with probability take a seem on the human beings who've gained the skills instruct earlier, and look at stable acts on youtube

It called a 'conjunction' of Venus and the moon..
Isn't it an awesome sight?

That "star" is the planet Venus, and its been that bright in the western sky for months (since about mid-January).

Because you don't look up very often? That's the planet Venus.
