∙ 8y agoIt could be either, depending on the word modified. It would more likely be an adverb phrase (e.g. looked at the moon, aimed at the moon). But it might conceivably modify a noun as in "Our base at the moon recorded the eclipse." It would more likely be "on the moon" but it would still be a valid phrase.
