“Analemma of the Moon” is copyrighted by Gyorgy Soponyai. NASA has permission to show it and we don't, so it isn't on this card.
See it on NASA's siteAn analemma is a figure-eight curve formed by tracking the Sun's position at the same time each day for a year. To photograph the Moon's analemma, you must adjust your timing daily because the Moon returns to the same sky position about fifty minutes later each day. Over a lunar month, this traces a similar curve as the Moon's orbit varies.
