'There is a very famous Chinese myth about this woman who is said to live on the moon. There are different variations of the myth but the basic story is that she and her husband were once immortal beings who were made mortal because of their bad behaviour. They then attempted to achieve immortality again through the use of a pill but Chang'e got greedy and took too much of the pill and ended up floating up to the moon where she remained stuck over time. She is the subject of much Chinese poetry and is one of the central reasons for celebration each Autumn during the Chinese Moon Festival.'
'This is an interesting myth because it crosses across several different cultures. The moon rabbit or jade rabbit is said to be one of the companions that Chang'e eventually was allowed to have with her one the moon. However, it is also a symbol that shows up in myths about the moon in Korea and in Japan.'

'Selene / Luna

These are the names of the Moon Goddess in Greek and Roman mythology respectively. In the myths associated with these goddesses, the goddess is paired with the god of the sun.

 'The sun, the moon, the stars, the planets, and even comets watch over us by day and night; they brighten our days and lighten our nights. Scientists have provided us with increasing amounts of knowledge about the solar system through space travel, hugely powerful telescopes, and mathematical and statistical modeling.  But the myths and stories created through today's popular culture or through the cultures, religions and mythologies of our ancestors continue to excite us and even to some extent shape our perceptions of the solar system'.

'the mysterious and powerful sun'

'Annigan is the moon god and his sister Malina the sun god.'

'The moon is generally seen as a benevolent, friendly presence in the nighttime sky, our nearest and dearest neighbour in the solar system. The full moon inspires awe and devotion on the part of earthlings who bask in its light. Perhaps the moon seems so familiar because we all know about the man in the moon, even though today we've discovered that our "man" is the interplay of light and shadows on the moon reflecting off the moon's canals and craters. Other cultures see the moon differently: some western cultures see a rabbit in the moon; the Chinese see a toad; and still others see the lady in the moon.'
