"Facing" the moon or sun is a bit vague in that sense. The sky has a full "12 hour arc" where objects are "visible" in the sky: the eastern horizon is "6 am", toward the south (if you're in the earth's northern hemisphere) is "noon", and the western horizon is "6 pm". They show the moon lit on its left side, which means it's "waning" after the full moon; and they have it slightly gibbous, which means it's a little closer to the past full moon than to the coming new moon. The angle between the sun and the moon is 180° at full moon, and that this gibbous point the angle is reduced to around 105° (when the angle got down to 90°, half the moon would be lit). So in this 105° situation, at around 9 am during the day, the angle to see the moon at would be where the sun would be around 4 pm. In the daytime the moon may or may not be actually visible, depending on the clarity of the sky. Their shot of the blast hitting the moon is out in space, where the moon would be clearly visible in its gibbous phase.
