What happens

No regular Simpsons characters appear in this moment, which is a black-and-white animated title sequence in an old-fashioned style. The first frame shows the title card 'The Moon of Earth' in white block letters over a large white moon, with a white rocket ship at lower left against a dark starry background and the small text 'Copyright 1952 by ... Pictures' at the bottom right. The title fades into a black starfield where a cratered papier-mache-looking moon hangs by a thin string from the top of the screen, with a small ringed planet at lower left and four-pointed sparkling stars around it. Across the following frames the hanging moon sways slightly and the string shifts position while the planet and stars stay fixed in place.
