Well I just noticed that the moon highlight outside my appartement do really look like it is tilted at a 45 degree angle.

No it's got nothing to do with the earth's shadow as that only occurs during an eclipse. Does the sunlit side of the earth face towards the sun? Of course, so it's the same with the moon. And in the game the moon's sunlit side faces away from the setting sun. I think the moon in the file is positioned upside down and it seems like it could be a simple fix for a modder.
