Not just a star, a superstar.

Um, well the classifications for a star are as follows...
Scientist classify stars according to their temperature and luminosity. The classification system has two main elements: the spectral type and the luminosity class. The spectral type is a letter flollowed by a number, indication the star's surface temperature and hence its color. The hottest stars, blue-white in color are type O. After that getting progressively cooler, are types B, A, F, K, and M, the last four being quite cool. Three further types R, N, and S, are similar to K- and M- type stars but have slightly different compositions. THe numbers-- which run from 0 (hottest) to 9 (coolest) represent ten subclasses of the main seven groups. The luminosity class, meanwhile, is indicated by a roman numeral from I to V. Class I stars, the supergiants, are the most luminous: class ii stars are called bright giants: class III stars are called gians: class IV stars are call subgiants: and class V is dwarfs...

The moon doesn't fit into any type of the Spectral type or the Luminosity type. It is a frozen rock, possibly once part of the earth but was blasted into high earth orbit by an object slightly larger than mars, because we have found the rocks on the surface are similar to those in the pacific. and it is about the size of the pacific, and if the theory above is true, that is probably where the earth was hit, and the pacific ocean is just one huge crater... but no the moon is definatly considered a sattilite.

Although some consider it to be another planet and that the earth and moon are a bianary planet system...

The Moon is not, and never was, considered a star. Stars are balls of hydrogen undergoing nuclear fusion. The Moon is a giant rock orbiting the Earth. They're very different.

The moon is made of relatively cold rock;

stars, of superheated gravitationally bound plasma.

The Moon was never, and is not, considered a star.

Did someone tell you that the moon is a star? Did you read it somewhere?

The Moon has never been considered a star. It is the Earth's companion. If it orbited the sun, it would be a planet.

He's messing with you, Mikey - the moon is not a star at all, it is a big rock that orbits Earth which orbits a star we call the sun.
