The star just above and to the left of the Full Moon tonight is the main star in the constellation of Libra, the Scales. It is not a particularly bright star, it just has the best name in the entire night sky: Zubenelgenubi (Zoob-en-el-gen-oobi).
The Moon (and its starry chum) should be easily visible above the south-eastern horizon by 10pm.
Starry Skies,
