See it on NASA's siteAn analemma is the figure-eight shape the Sun traces in the sky over a year if you observe it at the same time each day from the same location. This specific analemma was captured by a camera in the sky. It shows the Sun's changing position due to Earth's axial tilt and elliptical orbit.
