Oh wow that's because there is not a Moon breakup scene in Cloud Atlas! It's in the movie adaption of The Time Machine. In the book though he just arrives in the future and the moon is already gone (Chapter XIV The Further Vision https://www.gutenberg.org/cache/epub/35/pg35-images.html https://www.gutenberg.org/cache/epub/35/pg35-images.html). I think I read cloud atlas and the time machine, and watched the time machine movie around the same time, and got everything mixed up. That was a fun afternoon reading through bits of books until I could figure out what I was remembering.
