All my Lemmings love analemmas

🎵 *Ooh, my lovely, glowing one, my glowing one When you gonna trace that line, Analemma? Ooh, you make the seasons run, the seasons run Got me followin’ the curve, Analemma
Never gonna stop, tilt it up, Earth’s axial bind I always look it up, to see that figure-8 unwind My, my, my, ay, ah, wooh! A-a-a-Analemma
Come a little closer, sun, a-closer, sun Shining through the path in the sky, Analemma Keep it in geometry, you’re teasing me Tracing out the loop with such style, Analemma
Never gonna stop, tilt it up, Earth’s axial bind I always look it up, to see that figure-8 unwind My, my, my, ay, ah, wooh! A-a-a-Analemma A-a-a-Analemma
When you gonna show to me, show to me? Is it just a matter of time, Analemma? Is it symmetry, symmetry? Or is it just a dance in the sky, Analemma?

Watson or Stone?
(A Lemming’s reply when I made the same juvenile joke last time was: ‘Thompson, actually’)
Anticorp@lemmy.world 11 months ago
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.
BennyInc@feddit.org 11 months ago
And there’s still people out there, believing that.
Fuck_u_spez_@sh.itjust.works 11 months ago
Ridiculous. Clearly it’s turtles all the way down.

Go home, sun. You’re drunk.
RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 11 months ago
I think I count 46 shots. Missed a few weeks.
vithigar@lemmy.ca 11 months ago
Or it was overcast on those days. 46/52 is far better than you’d be able to manage in my area.
HexagonSun@sh.itjust.works 11 months ago
Instead of making me think about space, the solar system or the universe… this just gives me an existential crisis visualising, how few weeks are actually in a year and how brief a lifetime actually is.
Then I try to think about space instead.
friendly_ghost@beehaw.org 11 months ago
“Every week” but there are only 46 suns in the image. I will never trust strangers on the internet again
NigelFrobisher@aussie.zone 11 months ago
Where is Saddam?
gwen@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 months ago
i think the clouds?
ShaggySnacks@lemmy.myserv.one 11 months ago
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.
ace_garp@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Nnnnnnggggg!!
This is highly infuriating! The sun keeps narrowly missing taking out the church spire.
altasshet@lemmy.ca 11 months ago
Makes me think of Anathem

My analemma.
iAvicenna@lemmy.world 11 months ago
so clearly sun rotates around earth, in your face Galileo - Church probably
over_clox@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Neat. I naturally assume the very few apparent gaps are due to bad/cloudy weather on those particular days…
d00ery@lemmy.world 11 months ago
There should be 52 suns in the picture
over_clox@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Yes, that’s exactly my point. I counted 46.
You can’t expect clear skies every day/week of the year can you?
Eatspancakes84@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Which planet were these pictures taken on? On my planet the sun looks much bigger.
1rre@discuss.tchncs.de 11 months ago
you can change the relative size of things with zoom
sudo42@lemmy.world 11 months ago
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?
Balinares@pawb.social 11 months ago
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.
niktemadur@lemmy.world 11 months ago
The analemma.
Then since that 8-figure is diagonal, the earliest sunset and latest sunrise are about two weeks on either side of the shortest day of the year. Same in summer with the latest sunset and earliest sunrise being a couple of weeks on either side of the longest day.rain_worl@lemmy.world 11 months ago
you start going insane, and start to hallucinate

Looks like the diagram for an sp3 hybridized electron orbital

We wobble but we dont fall down

Lovely picture! Either I don’t get the meme part or I can’t find Saddam.

He’s there, in the jpg artifacts
OutlierBlue@lemmy.ca 11 months ago
Those aren’t the sun in the sky. They’re beans.
Zoomboingding@lemmy.world 11 months ago
The meme is that there is no meme, and the picture is just doctored - the sun doesn’t follow that pattern at all…
crapwittyname@lemm.ee 11 months ago
It absolutely does, my friend. It’s called the analemma.
