I don't know, to me it's definitely a planet. It has a wild, shifting atmosphere, clear sky, waterfalls... Unless said moon is the size of the Earth and the mystery planet is the size of Neptune.

Scott did say the movie let you with some pretty big questions.

yeah, they are definitely 'sleeping pods' or whatever, I'm guessing there are 4 of those big dudes.

If you study the top-down views of the navigator room, you'll see there are four structures that bear a passing resemblance to egyptian sarcophagi in the inner ring. In one image I saw, one of them is clearly opened.

Wouldn't be surprised if they were in the room all along in some form of stasis.

In other news, if anyone is able to put up with Russian dubbing, here's the International trailer in 3D, make sure to view the video on YouTube as 3D doesn;t work with embeds. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lXgophJKUog

I don't know about you, but watching this in Russian gave me a strong Solyaris vibe.

The jockeys in that look like the same color as the stars and planets where David looks real color. I think the jockey's there are 'recorded' so to speak.

Yes, and remember there's a brief scene on the most recent tv spots, where one of the characters (don't remember which) looks into a tunnel of sorts and sees a figure running away, but then it fades like a hologram. So it may as well be just a projection, even though the figure looked considerably small.
Furthermore I don't agree with the theories about someone turning into the Space Jockey or even using the suit, seeing as it's too big and the whole idea of a character "turning evil" for that purpose seems far fetched in my opinion, and it goes in hand (explicitly or not) with the alleged leaked script already debunked by Jon Spaihts himself (and which I'm sure it didn't include Peter Weyland anyway, nor the creatures we've seen, nor the ship crashing). It's more likely (in my interpretation of the trailer, that is) that whoever summoned them into that temple became aware of the kind of shit Weyland was getting into, gets really mad and seeks to get rid of him and his work. We still don't know what happens after that, because I remember Lindelof saying that most of the action happens in space, yet most of the action we see is in that planet, including the scene where ONLY Shaw and Vickers are seen running away from the Space Jockey model ship. It's not enough to piece things together, because something tips them off about the real purpose of that temple and I'm sure it's NOT the blue being.

Also I'd like to add something to what FilmEdge wrote, which elaborates some of the ideas I've thought about and others that have been posting here: When people talk about immortality and life extension, they often neglect brain deterioration, namely Alzheimer. It's bound to happen, after a certain age the braincells die and the thought processes are impaired. This is something not every sci-fi writer is concerned about, but even considering that Lindelof and Spaihts didn't have that in mind, I'm sure Mr. Weyland will be portrayed as an insane man. He may seem still smart, but having lived past his prime and still looking for ways to keep himself from dying might've turned him crazy about the idea, and in turn make him dangerous to himself and others around him.

Adding to that there's another company fighting against Weyland Industries in order to control the resources on Earth, which is most likely Yutani Corporation... This adds more stress to the already frail mind of an old man like Weyland, and the outcome will most surely be negative.
