Trying out SkyFactory, and it has this snazzy skybox. Does anyone know which mod is responsible for that?

It might be the companion mod to Botania, Gardens of Glass by Vazkii. (If you had picture, then I could be sure).
 
What's a skybox?
Skybox is the technical term for the "sky" in a game. In early systems, this was just a cube, with a texture mapped to the 6 faces. (hence the name) But it's developed to other more complex shapes and/or other methods.

Basic example:

If I wanted to, could I have a skybox that simulated motion (in a single direction) in space?

If the rendering engine supports animated textures on a skybox, then yes, you could do that. Other way would be a texture plane that sits in front of the skybox that moves, bit like the sun/moon in minecraft.
