What star is it?
The 'star' in question is most likely Venus, but it wont just be visible on Monday night. Venus has been visible in the evening sky since late September, and it will be there for several months to come. Monday is a special day because it is when Venus will be closest to Jupiter in the sky, a conjunction if you like, but technically it isn't (I think the correct term for this an appulse), plus the moon will be there to make a very pretty sight.
