#NealStephenson the #SciFi author makes some use of them in his large interesting novel #Anathem

Which also has some echoes of what, perhaps, scientists might consider around this period of Administration of the USA.

#Analemma #Solstice

I used to wonder why we don't set the time based on the sun being at it's highest point at noon.

I should probably stop asking this sort of question.

@jbond You take the photograph of the celestial object at the same time of day over a whole year. The shape is produced because of the tilt of the #Earth in its orbit. The slightly irregular shape by the fact that the orbit is not quite circular but #elliptical. I made a simulated #analemma and posted it here some time ago using #Sellarium, to show what happens.

Avez-vous remarqué ? 🌅🌇
Ça y est, les jours commencent à rallonger du soir ! C'est un bon prétexte pour marquer le coup : à l'instar du #solstice d'hiver, ou de toute autre fête de saison. 🥁
Comme le ciel s'annonce dégagé ces prochains soirs par ici, c'est l'occasion tant espérée d'un pique-nique au #Soleil couchant pour contempler le phénomène*.
Qui est partant ? 👀🕔
