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

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.

Go home, sun. You're drunk.

I think I count 46 shots. Missed a few weeks.

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.

Where is Saddam?

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.

so clearly sun rotates around earth, in your face Galileo - Church probably

Nnnnnnggggg!!

This is highly infuriating! The sun keeps narrowly missing taking out the church spire.

Neat. I naturally assume the very few apparent gaps are due to bad/cloudy weather on those particular days..

Makes me think of Anathem

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 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.

We wobble but we dont fall down

Which planet were these pictures taken on? On my planet the sun looks much bigger.

Looks like the diagram for an sp3 hybridized electron orbital

you start going insane, and start to hallucinate
