In 1609, Galileo was the first person to look AT THE MOON through a telescope.

If it's modifying (describing) a noun, then it's an adjective phrase.

If it's modifying a verb, adjective, or adverb, then it's an adverb phrase.

What word do you think it's modifying?
the first person?
Is it the moon?
I'm sorry I really don't understand.
"at the moon" is the phrase you're referring to, right? So it can't be modifying itself!
