COSMIC MESSAGE

An analemma is the figure-8 shape traced by the Sun's position at the same time each day over a year. On Mars, this shape would be a stretched pear, as shown in this digital illustration. It is based on the Mars Pathfinder project's Presidential Panorama view. This simulation shows the late afternoon Sun, recorded every 30 Martian sols, from the Sagan Memorial Station.
