“Analemma over Ukraine” is copyrighted by Vasilij Rumyantsev ( Crimean Astrophysical Obsevatory). NASA has permission to show it and we don't, so it isn't on this card.
See it on NASA's siteIf 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.
