I think I count 46 shots. Missed a few weeks.
Or it was overcast on those days. 46/52 is far better than you'd be able to manage in my area.
Which planet were these pictures taken on? On my planet the sun looks much bigger.
Where is Saddam?
i think the clouds?
You know you spend way too much time on the internet. When your first though at seeing the top of the loop is that it's going to be a penis made out of the sun moving around.
Just one ball? Sun is hitler confirmed
Nnnnnnggggg!!
This is highly infuriating! The sun keeps narrowly missing taking out the church spire.
Makes me think of Anathem
My analemma.
Lovely picture! Either I don't get the meme part or I can't find Saddam.
Those aren't the sun in the sky. They're beans.
He’s there, in the jpg artifacts
Watson or Stone?
(A Lemming's reply when I made the same juvenile joke last time was: 'Thompson, actually')
hey that's what we call my friend Emma
Does she want more friends?
sorry i don't think so. she doesn't really like change. she's very uptight and particular about things in a way that... i don't know. i wish there was a word for it.
All my Lemmings love analemmas
It’s how new Lemmings are born.
💀💀
So can someone who is more familiar with this subject answer, “Are these pictures taken at the same time of day with or without seasonal adjustments to time (Daylight Savings Time, etc.)?”
I understand why the sun would move vertically over the year due to the tilt of the Earth, but what causes the horizontal movement?
The Earth's orbit is an ellipse, not a circle, and therefore the Earth speeds up or slows down depending on where on its orbit it is at the time. In turn this means that the duration of the solar day fluctuates from day to day, from a bit under 24h to a bit over 24h and back.
So if you take a picture every 24h precisely the sun will appear to move horizontally a little bit on top of the expected vertical movement.

That's it! Thank you.
This is what early astronomers thought the orbit was. They believed the earth to be the center of the universe, and couldn't explain the strange orbits of the stars and planets.
And there’s still people out there, believing that.
Ridiculous. Clearly it's turtles all the way down.
Just the one turtle. Well, at least per world. I guess two, it you drop off the edge while they're mating.
And there's four elephants down there, too.
Wait. Is that one turtle per dimension, one turtle per universe, or one turtle that lives inside each black hole that’s really just a wormhole to another dimension/universe?
Nandor the Relentless agrees with you
so clearly sun rotates around earth, in your face Galileo - Church probably
Go home, sun. You're drunk.
We wobble but we dont fall down
A big ball of wibbly wobbly, timey wimey stuff
Neat. I naturally assume the very few apparent gaps are due to bad/cloudy weather on those particular days..
There should be 52 suns in the picture
Yes, that's exactly my point. I counted 46.
You can't expect clear skies every day/week of the year can you?
