   I like the idea of the eight-shaped geometric curves that describe the position of the Sun on the different days of a year – at the same time and in the same place.

  The Sun’s position in the sky changes when looked at during the same time each day from the same location throughout the year. The diagram showing how the Sun changes its position in the sky throughout the year is known as an Analemma. There are two independent factors that affect the change in su... Read more
