No it isn't the moon, and fairly certain it isn't a star. Looking outside, does any body know what planet it might be, it's proper bright (looks bigger than a star) and it looks really low down..

generally jupiter or venus are viewable. If it's early in the night, i think it's venus, later on probably jupiter. I think venus is usually the first thing you see at night?
Haven't researched this, so my memory could be completely wrong so apologies if it is!

Mars and Saturn are in orbit this evening.
Heres a good little basic site for tracking the planets in the sky.
