During the Moon's revolution, an observer in space would see the moon, but would not be able to see it spin around. From far to the north, about the solar system, the moon would appear to make a squiggly

How would the moon appear to an observer on earth if the moon did not rotate?
it would still appear to rotate
How does the moon appear to an observer on earth during a full moon?
Full, large or whole. Maybe the question was meant to be...How would the Earth appear to an observer on the moon during a full moon?
Which instrument is used in observing distant objects by making them appear close to the observer?
astronomical telescope..
What causes a red shift?
When a light source is receding away from an observer then due to Doppler effect the frequency would appear to fall. Hence the colour would be shifted towards the red end. Hence red shift Same way as the source is apporaching the observer, then frequency would appear to increase and so it moves towards violet. Hence violet shift.
When a star or galaxy moves quickly toward an observer the light it emits will appear?
It will be "blue-shifted". That is, the wavelength of the light will appear to be shorter and so more blue.
How the moon would appear to an observer in space during its revolution. Would phases be observable?
Yes. Unless the observer was on the back side of the moon, or on the opposite side of the earth from the moon, he/she could see the same phases that we see here on earth.
What does method in his madness mean?
"There is a method in my madness!" is when someone tries to explain that their plans or actions, though they may appear mad to an observer, is planned and not mad at all.

The horizon.

Why doesn't the Doppler shift appear when an observer moves toward the source?
Doppler's effect does not happen when the observer is moving towards the source because unlike the source when observer moves forward the waves are not compressed and they pass the observer without being compressed and since the doppler effect is due to the Change in wavelength of the wave, it fails to occur.
How bright does a star appear from earth?
It depends on its intrinsic brilliance and its distance from the observer
How does the frequency measured in front of the source appear to the observer compared to the frequency measured from behind?
The frequencies are the same, unless the source is moving relative to the observer.
Where does your image appear when you look in a mirror?
The image location is where the observer is sighting when viewing the image.

5 DEGREES
