nice find! this could make for a good updated moon texture for the scattersky in torque

Probably not, our current moon is just fine.

To even make use of that texture you would have to model a moon and unwrap that texture to it, then figure out how to render it to 2D exactly from the front and then output it as an image and then you would end up with something that will look almost exactly like what we have now in Torque.
