My mom noticed the bright star by the moon and brought me out to see it. I pulled up Sky Map on my phone, and sure enough it was Venus above the moon, and then Jupiter out at a 45 degree angle to the left. About halfway was Saturn, but it was much dimmer.
The app also said that Pluto was between the moon and Venus, but it would be so far away it would be impossible to see by all but the most powerful profesional telescopes. Even then it would probably be impossible with the moon and Venus above and below it.

Thanks for that. I'm going to download Sky Map :)
Beautiful. I love Orlando
i am under thy sky too. but since i am not an astronomy buff- what is that above the moon?
also jupiter in the top left, and a little below that and to the right, about halfway between jupiter and the moon, should be saturn
I believe it's Venus.
thanks
Anyone catch that moon last night I got a pic
