for the better part of the past month there has been a star/planet object just below and off to the side of the moon. what is it?

I was told Venus, but I will rely on the expertise of TWW just to be safe.

venus is always the brightest non-twinkling celestial object in the night sky (other than the moon of course).

what was that cracker commercial from like 10 years ago or something like that where they were and filled the middle of their cracker sandwich with moon cheese and they were like dancing and shit

My roommate doesn't let me watch the cracker channels.

It's BET or nothing.

It's been moving a good deal in relation to both the earth and the moon: safe bet it's a planet.

Venus, duh.

Earlier this fall, you also saw another planet near it, which was jupiter, altho it wasn't as bright as venus. Around New Years, right after sunset, you could also see Mercury near the horizon and near Jupiter, Venus, and the Moon. It was pretty awesome
