"Have you ever" is correct. It uses the present perfect and refers to at any time in your life (ever does that for you).
The second sentence uses the past tense axillary verb, "did" so the use of the past tense "noticed" is incorrect. However, if "noticed" is changed to the present tense "notice", the sentence becomes correct.

First one. Did you ever notice the moon shining so brightly? This one would sound correct minus ed on the end of noticed.

The first one is correct The second one should not start with did unless you change the phrase to Did you ever notice the moon shining so brightly? not Noticed.

Have you ever noticed the Moon shining so brightly?
and
Did you ever notice the Moon shining so brightly?
Without the "d" both sentences are equally good.

the first one does sound better, but that doesn't exactly make it correct. i would correct it to "Have you ever seen the moon shining so brightly?"

Neither.
"Names of celestial bodies: Mars, Saturn, the Milky Way. Do not, however, capitalize earth, moon, sun, except when those names appear in a context in which other (capitalized) celestial bodies are mentioned. "I like it here on earth," but "It is further from Earth to Mars than it is from Mercury to the Sun. "
But, if you correct the capitalization error, the first sentence sounds more pleasant.

Have you ever.... is the correct form because the tenses are the same (Have, shining). Did you.....doesn't sound right.

The first one is correct, that is why it sounds better.
