you're actually both a bit right. the moon is a solid object. but one can see what
appears to be stars behind the moon at times
this is cuz it takes time for light from the stars to reach the earth. the earth rotates so by the time starlight reaches earth it can give the appearance of stars behind the moon. but they're really not behind the moon, it's just the curvature of light combined with a rotating planet. the moon is a solid object
the universe is a fascinating thing. I don't pretend to be an expert but on these two points I'm pretty sure
