This example animates a continuous day-and-night cycle, showing a sun setting from the right while a moon rises from the left and the sky transitions from light blue to dark night. It generates stars once the moon reaches the center, and moves clouds across the sky. The visualization uses D3 v7 with SVG elements and `requestAnimationFrame` to update positions and colors, leveraging D3 transitions for cloud movement and random star generation for the night sky.
