You didn't know the Moon moves?
The left frame is showing the unzoomed, unstabilized view. See the Moon moving?
The right frame is zoomed and stabilized. See the Moon not moving?
Stabilized means that it keeps the Moon in the same place in the frame. The Moon is moving past the dots.

Why?
The field behind and outside of the disk of the Moon is dark. There is nothing to illuminate the specks until the disk of the Moon gets close enough in the frame.
Are you saying that the Moon is not moving and the dots are? Here's the original. Look at the left frame in HD.

Well at least that one is slightly relevant.
What do you mean it leaves a shadow? A shadow on the Moon.
No. But it is a shadow of a bird or a bat
