Half and cressent moon at night:
- use a sphere with the image_map of the moon surface, light it sideway, make it 
part of a light_group.
- Use an image of a cressent or half moon where the dark part of the moon is NOT 
transparent.
Both cases, use a sky_sphere for your stary background.

Day time:
- Two "world spheres", one with the moon, the second, slightly smaller, 
sky-blue, filtering, with whatever gradiant and clouds you may want.
- Use an actual sphere with moon image behind your athmosphere, done whatever 
way you want.
