Moon Surface

In the object settings, under the transform tab. There is translate (coordinates), rotate, and scale. Each has three inputs, one for each axis' Cartesian coordinate.

Yes this works for objects of course, but not for planets.

Hmm. I have not worked with entire planets much. I've done a couple, which turned out horrible.
Maybe a GIS file would do the trick?

Yes, these functions don't currently work for planets as you would expect. They do have an effect, I believe, but it's not the normal rotation you would want (about the planet's axis).

Maybe something can be done in the node network? I tried the obvious (rotate), but it rotated the colours, not the position of the image map. :-(
