Correct, it does make things worse. The astronomical scale of the solar
system is too great to render and look realistic.
If I remember correctly a standard camera lens, about 50mm for 35mm
film which should be roughly the 4/3 aspect, has about a 30 degree
viewing angle. From Earth both the sun and the moon have a 1/2 degree
angular diameter. for a 640 wide image that less than 11 pixels.
http://giwersworld.org/artiii/elevat23.jpg is a to-scale rendering and
that blob is the moon. The blob looks a bit better as rendered rather
than at the jpeg quality used.
On the recent images I have posted I have cut the earth-moon and
earth-sun distances by about ten with other scales equal. On that scale
a lunar eclipse lasts two days but the moon is on the recognizable side.
I'll be posting the result of my way of making a sun in binaries in a
few minutes.

Look at

lots of infos about the solar system.
