In the Trailer http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=34cEo0VhfGE at 21 to 22 seconds. As Promo is “flying” in the upper left there is another planet or moon with a star/light appearing. Is this a moon? Is Promo leaving Earth or flying an Earth test run? Did the planet in Alien have a moon?

Well. when Promo lands in a big puff of dust.....if you look at the clear bit of sky above the ship youll see some sort of cross. Dunno what it is though.

AFAIK, it's never made clear exactly what comprises the system, but judging from space shots in both movies, It looks like there are several smallish moons orbiting a ringed gas-giant.

The "cross" is a simple ring system around ( what I'm presuming is ) a gas giant, seen edge-on.
