This piece functions a bit like an animated night-light.  The space men rock back and forth in their slow orbit around the moon.  Though it does not come through in the video, the starry sky background also rotates slowly to intensify the effect.  I had to do a little photoshop magic in order for these photos to communicate clearly.  I added the last image to better illustrate what the piece looks like in bright daylight.
