Cool pic shows sun MVMT in sky over 1 year

[soulxtc]

It shows position of the Sun on the sky in the same time of a day during one year. Analemma - a trace of the annual movement of the Sun on the sky - is well known among experts of sun-dials and old Earth's globes as a diagram of change of seasons and an equation of time. Between August 30th 1998 and August 19th 1999 I have photographed the Sun 36 times on a single frame of 60-mm film. The pictures were taken exactly at 5:45 UT (Universal time) of every tenth day.

Did you guys notice that the center Sun of the figure 8 is really 2 Suns on top of each other?

There's only 35 Suns, but if he took pics every 10 days, there would need to be 36 Suns.

That's pretty cool how he got them to line up like that, if he was off by even one day it would've been a smeared big Sun in the middle. Probably took the time to calculate just when to begin!

I think the pic is superimposed (spell check please) over one main back ground pic by the way the clouds look. Other wise there would be a blurry sky.

Looking at it close it looks fake as shit. The light souce bouncing of the bottom off the clouds and such. Its a good thing the real sun isnt under the clouds or it would be hot as hell around here.

F the clouds, hes got a shitload of pics to superimpose on one another thats why the clouds come out odd looking.
