The RWBY verse is explained in the first episode. It is not supposed to be in our universe, past, present, or future. I have thought about this though. My theory is that there moon is broken, but only half. Half of the moon remains completely intact and holds the shattered remains to it with some force, such as gravitational dust. When the moon is in a certain position (full moon) it appears whole and unbroken, but as it orbits the broken pieces become visible, giving the different views of the broken moon we have seen.
