I’d like to replace the image of the moon in my game with a custom image.
User Story: I want to set the image of the moon because the realism moon does not match the style of my game.

To tell you about this feature request, I will tell you a story. A story about a young space traveler named Billy.

While on a quest for fulfillment of conscious, Billy traveled to the moon. It was a lot smaller than expected, but Billy is polite and didn’t bully it for being small. However, Billy will soon be faced with a dilemma as he turns and looks into the unknown void of space…

The moon!? That can’t be right, he’s standing on it! This doesn’t make any sense! Bi…
Moon phases and colors for the Sky object or Lighting service?
Writing this as I’m looking out the window at the blood moon / total lunar eclipse.
As we saw at RDC it looks like we will be getting some sky updates, as well as a true weather system.
I suggest implementing phases of the moon along with these features. There used to be a setting for the phase of the moon in either skyboxes or lighting, however it was fixed at the full moon setting and appears to have been removed.
It would also be cool if we could get the stars to rotate with the sun and moon.
We see what they are working on around 01:54:00

I’m surprised that there aren’t any more posts about changing the celestial textures, but I still support.

I think the sky has been neglected for a long time.

User Story:
In all seriousness though, anyone do something similar in lua? (I guess you can’t do a complete skybox, but you can get pretty close with a distant surfacegui)

It probably is possible with a SurfaceGui, but then you’re trading transparency since they always render over transparent parts
You can run into render-distance problems pretty easily on lower-end devices. So to be sure the sky is visible at all, you need to keep it be pretty close to the player.
