It would be a better idea to prepare a complete set of images to represent
the appearance of the moon on each day, and use a server-side script to
select the closest match when a page is requested.
Just about any 3D application will be able to generate these images for you,
and you can use a server-side language like PHP to insert the name of the
picture representing the current phase. The maths is very simple.
That way you don't have to rely on visitors having flash or javascript
available in their browsers.
