No kidding. A mid to high end ameture telescope should be able to spot that.

Not if it's on the back side of the moon. The moon has no rotation and we only see one side.

I'm cueing some creepy music right now.

“The asymmetric nature of this gravitational interaction is also responsible for the fact that the Moon rotates synchronously, i.e. it is locked in phase with its orbit so that the same side is always facing toward the Earth”

The Moon does indeed rotate.
