What is that bright light that looks like a great big star in the sky tonight?
You don’t say where you see the bright light in relationship to other object in the sky but the answer could be one of several things: yes, a satellite, although you would be able to notice it moving rather rapidly over a period of time. Venus (which is quite bright and yellowish in color) Mars (bright and reddish in color) The latter two would appear relatively stationary compared to the moon or other stars.
