* In the [[Star Wars Expanded Universe]] book ''Vector Prime'', {{spoiler|it took a falling ''moon'' to kill off Chewbacca.}}
* [[Neil Gaiman]]'s ''[[The Matrix]]'' short story, ''"Goliath''", had {{spoiler|inexplicably pissy aliens follow one of the Machines' "seed-probes" back to Earth. The aliens begin dropping rocks and warn that if the Machines do not surrender immediately, they'll drop the moon on them.}}
* One of [[Larry Niven]]'s prehistoric ''[[The Magic Goes Away (novel)|The Magic Goes Away]]'' stories featured a group of magi seeking out a comatose god on a "mana"-starved Earth in the hope that he will be able to help them land the Moon on Earth. How big can it be, after all? The magi think this is a great idea and awaken the god using the mana left in the comatose worldwyrm of [[Norse Mythology]]. The awakened god shows the relative sizes involved to the magi, who now realize that smashing the Moon into the Earth would be a bad thing, even though the god promises to remake them after. As the god awakens, he stretches up to grab the Moon with his hands and push against it, presumably to stop it from orbiting the Earth.
* In the ''[[Magic: The Gathering]]'' storyline, Yawgm- er, The Lord of the Wastes is attempted to be killed by {{spoiler|Urza and Gerrard dropping the Null Moon, a storage facility for pure white mana, on him.}}
