Near side of the Moon
The near side of the Moon is the lunar hemisphere that is permanently turned towards Earth, whereas the opposite side is the far side.
Only one side of the Moon is visible from Earth because the Moon rotates on its axis at the same rate that the Moon orbits the Earth – a situation known as synchronous rotation, or tidal locking.
The Moon is directly illuminated by the Sun, and the cyclically varying viewing conditions cause the lunar phases.
Sometimes the dark portion of the Moon is faintly visible due to earthshine, which is indirect sunlight reflected from the surface of Earth and onto the Moon.
Since the Moon's orbit is both somewhat elliptical and inclined to its equatorial plane, libration allows up to 59% of the Moon's surface to be viewed from Earth( though only half at any moment from any point).
Position Among the Stars
Position Among the Stars  is a 2010 documentary directed by Leonard Retel Helmrich.
It was released on 17 November 2010 as the opening film of the IDFA (International Documentary Festival Amsterdam).
The documentary is the continuation of "Eye of the Day" and "Shape of the Moon" and follows again the Sjamsuddin family, consisting of three generations, living in the slums of Jakarta, Indonesia.
Moon
The Moon is an astronomical body that orbits Earth as its only natural satellite.
It is the fifth-largest satellite in the Solar System, and the largest among planetary satellites relative to the size of the planet that it orbits (its primary).
The Moon is, after Jupiter's satellite Io, the second-densest satellite in the Solar System among those whose densities are known.
The Moon is thought to have formed about 4.51 billion years ago, not long after Earth.
The most widely accepted explanation is that the Moon formed from the debris left over after a giant impact between Earth and a Mars-sized body called Theia.
New research of Moon rocks, although not rejecting the Theia hypothesis, suggests that the Moon may be older than previously thought.
The Moon is in synchronous rotation with Earth, and thus always shows the same side to Earth, the near side.
The near side is marked by dark volcanic maria that fill the spaces between the bright ancient crustal highlands and the prominent impact craters.
After the Sun, the Moon is the second-brightest regularly visible celestial object in Earth's sky.
Its surface is actually dark, although compared to the night sky it appears very bright, with a reflectance just slightly higher than that of worn asphalt.
Its gravitational influence produces the ocean tides, body tides, and the slight lengthening of the day.
The Moon's average orbital distance is , or 1.28 light-seconds.
This is about thirty times the diameter of Earth.
The Moon's apparent size in the sky is almost the same as that of the Sun, since the star is about 400 times the lunar distance and diameter.
Therefore, the Moon covers the Sun nearly precisely during a total solar eclipse.
This matching of apparent visual size will not continue in the far future because the Moon's distance from Earth is gradually increasing.
The Moon was first reached in September 1959 by the Soviet Union's Luna 2, an unmanned spacecraft, followed by the first successful soft landing by Luna 9 in 1966.
The United States' NASA Apollo program achieved the only manned lunar missions to date, beginning with the first manned orbital mission by Apollo 8 in 1968, and six manned landings between 1969 and 1972, with the first being Apollo 11 in July 1969.
These missions returned lunar rocks which have been used to develop a geological understanding of the Moon's origin, internal structure, and the Moon's later history.
Since the 1972 Apollo 17 mission the Moon has been visited only by unmanned spacecraft.
Both the Moon's natural prominence in the earthly sky and its regular cycle of phases as seen from Earth have provided cultural references and influences for human societies and cultures since time immemorial.
Such cultural influences can be found in language, lunar calendar systems, art, and mythology.
Shape of the Moon
Shape of the Moon is a Dutch/ Indonesian documentary film from 2004 directed by Leonard Retel Helmrich.
The documentary released on 24 November 2004 as opening film of IDFA( International Documentary Festival Amsterdam).
The documentary is the continuation of" Eye of the Day" and follows again the family Sjamsuddin, consisting of three generations living in the slums of Jakarta, Indonesia.

Day the World Ended
Day the World Ended is a 1955 independently made black- and- white post-apocalyptic science fiction film, produced and directed by Roger Corman, that stars Richard Denning, Lori Nelson, Adele Jergens, and Mike Connors.
Chet Huntley of NBC, later of" The Huntley- Brinkley Report", served as the film's narrator.
" Day the World Ended" was released by American Releasing Corporation( later American International Pictures) as a double feature with" The Phantom from 10,000 Leagues".
The film's storyline centers on a heroic scientist who, with a small band of other survivors, must face off against a mutant monster following an atomic war that appears to have destroyed human civilization.
My Whole World Ended
My Whole World Ended is the 1969 debut solo album of David Ruffin, who had risen to fame as lead singer of The Temptations from 1964 to 1968.
Released on Motown Records," My Whole World Ended" features the title track, as well as other tracks produced by in- house Motown producers such as Harvey Fuqua, Johnny Bristol, Paul Riser and Ivy Jo Hunter.
Lunar phase
The lunar phase or phase of the Moon is the shape of the directly sunlit portion of the Moon as viewed from Earth.
The lunar phases gradually change over the period of a synodic month( about 29.53 days), as the orbital positions of the Moon around Earth and of Earth around the Sun shift.
The Moon's rotation is tidally locked by Earth's gravity; therefore, most of the same lunar side always faces Earth.
This near side is variously sunlit, depending on the position of the Moon in its orbit.
Thus, the sunlit portion of this face can vary from 0%( at new moon) to 100%( at full moon).
The lunar terminator is the boundary between the illuminated and darkened hemispheres.
Each of the four" intermediate" lunar phases( see below) is around 7.4 days, but this varies slightly due to the elliptical shape of the Moon's orbit.
Aside from some craters near the lunar poles, such as Shoemaker, all parts of the Moon see around 14.77 days of daylight, followed by 14.77 days of" night".
( The side of the Moon facing away from Earth is sometimes called the" dark side of the Moon", although that is a misnomer.)
The Day the World Ended
The Day the World Ended is a 2001 American science fiction/ horror television film and is the fourth in the" Creature Features" series broadcast on Cinemax.
It stars Nastassja Kinski, Randy Quaid, and Bobby Edner.
While not being a direct remake of the 1955 film with a similar title(" Day the World Ended"), it utilizes the original film by showing segments on a TV seen within the story and showing that the VHS video box cover as part of the child's interest in aliens.
Some scenes were filmed in Wrightwood, California.
Shooting at the Moon
Shooting at the Moon may refer to: Or Shooting the Moon
Around the Moon
Around the Moon( 1870), Jules Verne's sequel to" From the Earth to the Moon", is a science fiction novel which continues the trip to the Moon which was only partially described in the previous novel.
It was later combined with" From the Earth to the Moon" to create" A Trip to the Moon and Around ItFrom the Earth to the Moon" and" Around the Moon" served as the basis for the film" A Trip to the Moon".

Question: Are Shape of the Moon and Day the World Ended both from the same country?
Answer: no
