I've got this big Moon graphic. It takes up all the page. Now I want to
make it look like the phases of the Moon, maybe with an overlay to
simulate the shadows. Ideally the shadow would move in realtime, or
failing that, updated as often as possible to reflect what the Moon is
really doing.

I'm trying to work out what the best way of doing this would be. Could
the shadow effects be mapped with with css and layers? I'd like the
Moon graphic to show through, so some kind of transparancy effect.

I suppose one option is to make all the images of the phases and load
them into the page at given times of the day, using a script.
