I am not really sure what you mean with "dissolving the shadow into the
atmosphere". If you mean, that you want to see the moon's shadow in the
atmosphere, then I do have suggestion:

Don't! :-)

My reasoning: Unless the moons are so close that their gravity would
actually cause create havoc (earthquakes, constant vulcanic eruptions, etc.,
stuff not in your image ;-) I would say that it is fully correct that there
is no shadow of the moons in the atmosphere, because the shadow would simply
pass the planet.
Afer all: Shadow of the moon on the planet = solar eclipse. And in your
image the distance between moon and sun (at this angle) is simply to large
to give a shadow anyway.

So long,
Johannes.
