It was later - 1990 - turned into a novel with Robert Silverberg as co-author. John Savard

It never occurred to me to even mention to them there was a novel and a movie.

I am sorry that I brought up the movie. It was so bad that half of the people left the theater before it was over and demanded their
money back. My wife now uses it to taunt me when I suggest going to see movies without a known review.

There was also a multimedia planetarium show sometime back in the 80s
pretty sure while Asimov was still with us. Don't know if it was a
local production and don't know if anyone bothered to get permission.

Did you see this movie rated 2.4 out of 10 on IMDB ? There are five movies with Nightfall in the name.

Every 2050 years, on a day when all but one of the planet's 6 suns has set, a moon gets in front of that sun, leading to a multi-hour eclipse which allows the people to see a very large number of stars. The combination of the darkness and the stars drives everyone mad. How is the planet able to hang onto a satellite that is so far away that it takes 2050 years to complete an orbit?

It's just 2050 years between an eclipse that happens when all except the smallest suns are on the other side of the planet. Of course in order for this to work the planet would have to have a very small land mass.

Of course in order for this to > work the planet would have to have a very small land mass. It's also my understanding that it takes about 2050 years for the Alpha sun and the two distant companion pairs to simultaneously set. At that point the Beta sun is left alone in the sky so darkness ensues when a non-luminous planetary body eclipses Beta. The non-luminous planet may very well eclipse Beta every day but it only causes a black out on the planet Lagash when the other five suns are antipodal to Saro City. An antipodal event that occurs approximately every 2050 years. What if Lagash and another planet of equal size rotate about each other? Do the celestial mechanics work any better? Thank you, -- Don Kuenz KB7RPU Oh dark, dark, dark, amid the blaze of noon, Irrecoverably dark, total eclipse Without all hope of day! -Milton

It doesn't change the problem that the eclipse is just not going to black out the whole planet.
