Constellations and the Night Sky

[murf]

From what I saw in Phase 2 (need to confirm for Phase 3), I noticed that the moon always seems to be full. Thus indicating that they've done away with moon phases.

While this frees me from the "Moon Phases are wrong" discussion, how could you possibly have a moon that is constantly full? Can it be locked into Lagrangian point 2 in order to be able to stay full lit like that?

While I'd have to look it up to confirm, it may just not have been implemented yet in phase 2. I know they didn't have weather fully operational then, so maybe moon phases weren't yet either. I just can't imagine they'd get rid of phases entirely...

I'd have to agree that a moon at L2 would be the only way to have it constantly full, but that has its problems. L2 is an unstable equilibrium, so having it stay there over long periods of time would be an issue, especially with an object large enough where tidal forces will be nudging it away from that perfect balance. It would also technically be required to share a direct line for all 3 bodies in all 3 spatial dimensions: the moon wouldn't just be forever full, it would be forever eclipsed (depending on how far away it is).
