I never see the moon and the sun meet in the SL sky. I wonder why. Anybody seen one?

According to  , From: someone There was once a footnote here claiming that a Linden said the sun and moon actually do move independently but that an eclipse would not occur for at least 500 RL years. It turns out that this is incorrect; the sun and moon are, in fact, always directly opposite each other. |

It was possible to create the illusion of an eclipse in the WindLight FirstLook, but I'm not sure if that was an intended feature, a bug that will be fixed, or just my poor non-WindLight-capable computer crying under the pressure.
Basically the sun would be there, but the actual disk of it would be black. The surrounding glow (the corona?) was still visible.

On an unrelated note, everybody play with mouse-moves-sun now while you have the chance. I'm really going to miss that.
