While cool it’s a bit of a cop out to use a bitmap as a mask for both the circular shape and the shading of the earth’s shadow.

If "live in ASCII art" is the pitch, it's reasonable to expect ASCII itself being the part that is "live".

But the vectors/bitmaps aren’t needed. The moon circle is already done in ascii. And the shading could at least be done with font color.
