Planets and moons casting shadows on other planets and moons

[ebigunso]

Today, when I was flying my space ship to the Mun, I had this particular situation where Kerbin blocked the sunlight. Although my solar panels were not getting power anymore, lighting effects on the ship and the Mun's surface seemed to still be getting sunlight.

KSP doesn't really handle the "sun barely hidden" state really well it seems.

Anyways, seeing this I thought "hey why not planetary surfaces have shadows casted on them in an eclipse".

I think this would be a really nice addition to the graphical side of the game and would certainly make the game even more awesome

What do you guys think?

This would be great for an aesthetics overhaul when (if) they get around to it. Supported on the case that they add everything functional first.

Would be awesome to have, but I'm not sure if it's possible with this version of Unity.

This gets suggested AT LEAST once a month.
