First you need a moon. Do you have a moon?

A moon is created after an attack. It would be quite visible in the combat report, your Overview screen, the drop down menu for your planets/colonies and the Galaxy map of your system. There is no mistaking whether you have a moon or not.

A lunar base can only be built on a moon. The primary use of a moon is to hide your fleet deployments and to provide a sensor phalanx to spy on other player's activities. In other games I have seen people make the mistake of using valuable moon fields to build defenses.

Building on a moon is very time consuming and expensive, but they are probably one of the greatest assets a player can own.

Slash you said that a moon occurs after an attack, so does that mean its made up of debris. If so does that mean you can recycle it or is a deathstar the only thing that can destroy a moon

A moon is created by all of the debris created by the attack. There is typically no remaining debris in the debris field after the moon is created.

And yes, only a Death Star (RIP) can destroy a moon.
