Sting Star of Earendil and the star in FOTR

This has probably been asked, and therefore please let your wrath at a new members folly run off, and then return to my comfort!! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Anyway, we all know the story of the Star of Earendil. Just wondering, in "the ring goes south" in the FOTR, there was this quote
Quote:
The hunter's moon waxed round in the night sky, and put to flight all the lesser stars. But low in the South one star shone red. Every night, as the moon waned again, it shone brighter and brighter. Frodo could see it from his window, deep in the heavens, burning like a watchful eye that glared above the trees on the brink of the valley.

Is this the star of Earendil by any chance??
I thought that it could be. thanks for your answers wise ones. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
