I'm not 100% certain, but I think that's either the death star or the moon. I'm still looking into it.

Venus would also fit (moves around, visible day and night, changes shape) except that you said "not a planet." And then, of course, the moon doesn't glow (or get closer in the morning). It reflects (rather than glows), and appears bigger/closer when it's closer to the horizon (many theories, but basically a trick of the brain).
