Use a parallel and area_light with circular centered at the moon's location. The 
light's dimention been similar to the visual dimention of the moon. Keep the 
intensity low, it's the moon after all. It's colour should be white or silvery 
white. Use a dark blue sky_sphere or world sphere and radiosity or a faint blue 
fill light to cast a bluish tint on your scene.
