Firstly, beautiful video! The moon, such an object of myth, beauty and of course, science!

Which brings me to this. Our moon and sun do not work like Minecraft! It is hard to visualize, but the moon is locked into earths orbit, so its position and time and duration in the sky is always on the change. You can look up the "moon rise" and moon set, and science lets us know when it is just like your second hand on the watch knows when to tick, its very predictable. for instance here in Melbourne (Au) the moon rise is:
6.30am and sets at 8.30pm for 5th feb 2012.

Moon Rise Set Times

here's some more info.



Because the Moon revolves around the Earth, its position in the sky relative to the Sun changes rapidly. Within a 24-hour period, its horizontal position, relative to the Sun, changes by about 12 degrees in a counterclockwise direction. In most cases, this causes the moonrise and moonset to occur later than the day before. As the time between moonrise occurrences is more than 24 hours, there are days when the Moon will not rise so the event will not occur until the day after. When this happens, a minus sign (-) is shown. On a day when the moonset occurs before the moonrise, additional minus signs are added and the moonrise is shown on a separate line below the moonset. For regions near the North or South Pole, the Moon might be up all day or down all day. If this is the case, the Moon Calculator will show "Up all day" or "Down all day."
