Morrow's P.O.V. looking at a blinding sun in brilliant blue sky. Sun to flare out larger.

Paul and Sandra walk out of the Moonbase airlock, wearing their spacesuits, and look up at the sun.

Scene 73
A streak of lightning flashes out from Alpha towards clouded sky. Moon rock in f/g.
Closer on buildings

The Last Sunset

Scene 74
Similar to Sc 73 (75 omitted - discuss with Brian)

In the script, this is Sandra's P.O.V. of more lightning flashing from Alpha. "Lightning. Alpha's been struck." Paul says "But it seemed to come from Alpha..."
Scene 75 follows, "The heavily clouded sky is alive with flashes of lightning."
In the final edit, we have scene 73, above, with lightning; in scene 74, Paul and Sandra stand, with flashes of light over them (but no dialogue); then we see scene 75, Alpha under heavily clouded sky, with flashes of light but no visible lightning. This is a slightly different arrangement of the same buildings as scene 73.

Scene 77
Koenig's P.O.V. Lightning increases. Lights up window frame.
Better if sky only

Not used. We see Koenig and Bergman looking out, with light flashing on them, but we see no further shots of lightning.
