“Blue Danube Analemma” is copyrighted by György Soponyai. NASA has permission to show it and we don't, so it isn't on this card.
See it on NASA's siteThe Sun's annual path across Earth's sky forms an analemma, a figure-eight curve. This fisheye view from Budapest, Hungary, shows the analemma tipped vertically. The Sun's position was recorded at the same time each day over nearly a year, revealing its changing height and east-west position.
