Analemma over Ukraine

NASA APOD · Vasilij Rumyantsev ( Crimean Astrophysical Obsevatory)
COSMIC MESSAGE

If you photograph the Sun at the same time each day for a year, it traces a figure-eight pattern called an analemma. This apparent shift is due to the Earth's elliptical orbit around the Sun combined with the tilt of its rotation axis. The Sun appears highest in the analemma during summer and lowest during winter. Analemmas vary slightly depending on your latitude on Earth.
