The direction the moon faces changes throughout the night as it moves across the sky. You can determine the moon's current direction by using a compass or a stargazing app that shows its location in real time.
There's a Moon Out Tonight was created in 1961.
Yes you do, when the unlighted side of the moon faces you, the fully lit up side is facing the other direction, away from Earth.
The moon will be in its first quarter phase a week from tonight after the new moon phase.
Yes, the moon is visible tonight on December 7th. The moon goes through phases, so its appearance changes throughout the month. Tonight, it may be full, waxing, or waning depending on the date and time you are observing it.
The name of the Moon is "Moon" or "Luna". It does not depend on the night.
The Moon has no east-west direction with respect to Earth. East-west describes the direction of, or opposite direction of a sphere that is rotating. (Like Earth.) As it turns out, the same side of the Moon always faces the Earth. The phases of the Moon, like full Moon, result from which direction the SUN is from the Moon and Earth.
The moon, the sun and the stars all rise in the east and set in the west due to the rotation of the earth.
Yes, it is a new moon tonight.

The Moon always keeps the same side facing the Earth.So, whatever direction you name, there is some place on the Moon from which the Earth appears in that direction, and if the observer doesn't move to a different place on the Moon, then the Earth doesn't move either. It's always in the same direction. The concept of "Earth rise" or "Earth set" does not apply on the Moon.(This video from Apollo 8 came as the spacecraft was circling the Moon in orbit.)Note that for about half of the Moon's surface (the far side), the Earth is never visible. During the full moon, very little of Earth is illuminated by the Sun, as seen from the Moon.

At full moon, the Moon is opposite the Sun. It will (approximately) rise at sunset, and set at sunrise.At new moon, the moon is in the same direction as the Sun. It is still there, we just cant see the side lit by sunlight as it is facing away from the Earth when in the New Moon phase.
Space rocks can come from any direction; they can miss the Earth and then whack the Moon's nearside.
