The bright spot near the moon tonight is likely a planet like Venus or Jupiter. Planets are often visible near the moon, appearing as bright points of light in the night sky.
You can check the phase of the moon for tonight by looking at a lunar calendar, using a mobile app that tracks moon phases, visiting a weather website that includes moon phase information, or setting up a telescope or binoculars to observe the moon directly.
