Probably part of your desktop background. The menu is translucent, so parts of the background will show through. Looks like you have the default Leopard background, thus some stars have shone though your Menu Bar.

I have more than fifteen years experience with computers; I just got my first Mac (a MPB). I thought the very same thing. :Oops:

I have been working with computers since the Commodore 64 and OSX since 10.2 and thought the very same thing when I first booted into Leopard till I realized about the translucent menu bar! So don't feel like a noob at all! :D
