La Lune Hats
Description: Le Voyage dans la Lune (A Trip to the Moon) is a 1902 French adventure short film directed by Georges Méliès. Inspired by a wide variety of sources, including Jules Verne's 1865 novel From the Earth to the Moon and its 1870 sequel Around the Moon, the film follows a group of astronomers who travel to the Moon in a cannon-propelled capsule, explore the Moon's surface, escape from an underground group of Selenites (lunar inhabitants), and return to Earth with a captive Selenite. Its ensemble cast of French theatrical performers is led by Méliès himself as main character Professor Barbenfouillis. The film features the overtly theatrical style for which Méliès became famous.

Description: Space, the skies and especially the moon have fascinated people forever. This iconic image comes from a film in 1902 by Georges Melies describing a trip to the moon by some scientists. Like Jules Verne, the transport is via a huge gun shell, shown here in the eye of the moon. This drawing by Melies was for a poster advertising the film.
