I live in North America, and I would like to know what's up with the moon tonight? (if anyone knows) I know it's a full moon, but there is a little star looking thing by it....is it a planet, or a meteriote? Thanks.

Tonight Mars will pass behind the full moon.

Most likely you're looking at Mars, but the halo around the moon is caused by the light reflecting off of ice crystals in the earths atmosphere.

I think it might be mars. I heard on the radio a while ago that mars is in it's closest position to earth right now. I think they said it would appear close to the moon in the sky. Check out astronomy sites, they might be all over that right now.

It's a planet far away way behind the moon so it looks really close to it.... It's like an optical illusion.
