In the scene in the extended edition where Sam tells Frodo, "There's light and beauty up there that no shadow can touch," the star he sees is no ordinary star. That's the Star of Earendil, the Evenstar - the one Arwen was named after. We would call it Venus. In Middle-Earth, though, it's a Half-Elf (Arwen's grandfather, no less,) on a flying ship with one of the three Silmarils, which contain the light of the Two Trees; holy light that predates the sun and moon. The Star of Earendil was the source of the light contained in Galadriel's Phial.
