(via APOD: 2012 September 20 - Sunrise Analemma (with a little extra)) Sunrise Analemma (with a little extra) Image Credit & Copyright: Tunç Tezel (TWAN) “ a composite of 17 individual images taken at 0231 UT on dates between April 2 and September 16 follows half the analemma curve. The scene looks east toward the rising sun and the Caspian sea from the boardwalk in the port city of Baku, Azerbaijan” Note the black spot on the June 6 exposure? Near the top of the analemma loop, because June 6 is close to the solstice? That’s Venus in transit! (It’s a little enhanced, but the effect is amazing.)
