It's a cloud! I tried to send you an email after I messed up the
attachment but the AOL postmaster told me that they couldn't find you! A
bump_map for this distance is maybe too much. What I did was some work
on the image. The image can be found at
http://spaceart.com/solar/raw/moon/ . It was stated that this image has
been made from Apollo. So it looked very much B&W. I changed the colors
to a more yellowish tone but this is really a matter of taste. 
The second thing I did was to turn this pic into a Targa file with an
alpha channel. This way it gets the shadow at the left side that has the
color of the sky.

P.S.: I try to send this as an email too! Just to check if I can reach
you.
