  The Moon
The moon's gravity is one-sixth that of the Earth's; a man who weighs 180 lbf (pound-force) on Earth weighs only 30 lbf on the Moon.
The Moon was heavily bombarded early in its history, which caused many of the original rocks of the ancient crust to be thoroughly mixed, melted, buried, or obliterated.
This concentration may be explained by the fact that the Moon's center of mass is offset from its geometric center by about 2 kilometers (1.2 miles) in the direction of Earth, probably because the crust is thicker on the farside.

Night Cries, for example, weaves autobiographical material about the adoption of an Aboriginal child by a white family with a fantasy arising from the plot of Charles Chauvel’s film Jedda (1955).
By proposing that Jedda didn’t die in the film’s last frames, but lived to become the middle-aged carer of her white adopting mother, Moffatt shows herself as preoccupied by issues of history, truth, survival and the need for radical change, as are many younger Aboriginal filmmakers.
She added that anyone who’d been at the opening night celebrations would realise how few revellers got to bed before 4am; attending a day of movies and music would be a hard call.

 Movie Review - One Night the Moon - eFilmCritic   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
One Night the Moon, however, is described by its creators as an “opera-film”, a term which refers to a dramatic feature in which the musical interludes actually drive the narrative.
It is unfair to judge One Night the Moon by the standards applied to feature films, since it’s an unashamedly experimental effort that has little time for character development and intricate plotting.
The running time leads me to question whether a theatrical release is appropriate (it has all the hallmarks of a made-for-television endeavour), but if you buy into the “opera-film” concept then the impressive cinematography, thoughtful compositions and poignant denouement more than compensate for its brevity.
