The International Space station can be seen in the sky at the moment,I can see it here in dublin. It looks like a very,very bright star. Its just above the moon at the moment.

The ISS shoots across the sky at a great rate of knots. It is not stationary. More likely a planet.

as said here
its rotating round the earth
the usual bright light near the moon is one of the planets(i think is Venus or Mercury)
