Thanks.

Yes, the sky changes according to the hour, during the night: dark sky with
shinning stars.
If you want to play with it, just change the local time of your computer to see
instant changements.

About the speed animation, you should have words flying all around to change the
pixels colors but it's true than it could be even more moving.

About the sun, i am a very bad vector designer and that was the best i could
do...
