How do you know the moon is a sphere?

The moon is observed to be nearly spherical in shape because of the gravitational forces acting on it. Over time, moons and planets tend to form into a sphere due to their own gravity pulling inwards equally from all directions, which results in a spherical shape. Measurements from spacecraft and telescopes have also confirmed the moon's spherical shape.
