Science, superstition, culture: This animated documentary series delves into various aspects of man's relationship with the Earth's satellite.
Fifty years after man's first small step, the promise of colonisation and tourist trips to the Moon seem almost within reach. But is the moon ready for us?
We attribute all sorts of powers to the Moon... And while its influence on our life on Earth is undeniable, its powers are not necessarily the ones we think.
Humans like to observe and examine the Moon, down to its smallest features. Its seas and craters have all been mapped out and even its mysterious dark side should soon reveal its secrets.
Lunar eclipses, super moons or pink moons, our lunar satellite offers us an array of surprising spectacles.
Where does the Moon come from? Mythology and science have each come to their own conclusions.

Captain Star was an animated television series starring Richard E. Grant as Captain Jim Star, based on a comic by Steven Appleby: Rockets Passing Overhead. Only thirteen episodes of thirty-minutes each were produced and aired. The series ran on the British ITV and Canadian TELETOON networks from 1997 to 1998. The show was also later repeated on Nickelodeon UK.
Newton's Apple is an American educational television program produced and developed by KTCA, and distributed to PBS stations in the United States that ran from 1983 to 1999. The show's title is based on the rumor of Isaac Newton sitting under a tree and an apple falling near him—or, more popularly, on his head—prompting him to ponder what makes things fall, leading to the development of his theory of gravitation. The show was produced by Twin Cities Public Television. For most of the run, the show's theme song was Ruckzuck by Kraftwerk, later remixed by Absolute Music. Later episodes of the show featured an original song. An occasional short feature appeared called "Science of the Rich and Famous" in which celebrities appeared to explain a science principle.
