Why is the night sky dark blue and not black?
Why is the night sky dark blue and not black?
Not sure, I guess for cosmetic reasons (i.e. not having such a high contrast)? Newton? :)
PS: Btw, in that screenshot I set the time to around 20 or 21 o'clock I think

Cause the moon illuminates it a bit.
Formula:
The lightness varies between 100 (full moon) and 0 (new moon). The darkest possible night sky color thus is RGB(0,8,15), the lightest RGB(6,33,75)
Formula:
lightness = 100 - Abs(100 * phase / this.ActMap.Be.Length - 50); // the phase of the moon
nightcolour = [ 6 * lightness / 100, 8 + 25 * lightness / 100, 15 + 60 * lightness / 100 ];

Sorry if I missunderstand the problem but what's with a transparent moon (using more alpha compositing in the png instead of blackness)?
The stars would shine through the transparent parts of the moon. While this would probably look better, it would be illogical to have stars in front of the moon.
I'm not sure if it's possible to hide stars that are behind the moon, because of the parallaxity. It would probablynrequire some calculation of the position of the camera and stuff to find out wich stars are currently behind the moon.
