Nice illustration of analemma and changing position of sunset

They could, perhaps, have put a bit more thought into naming this......

An interesting experience ruined by incredibly irritating music and terrible videography.

. . . ruined by incredibly irritating music and terrible videography.

That's obligatory on YouTube videos, isn''t it?

I mean, it was pretty and all, but Emma could have done a brief explanation rather than rely on the text.

Well thanks to LS strangely restful and sad as we seem by all accounts frittered away the beauty of the earth

Goodness you lot are whingers. It was lovely in it's own way & such a creative idea. The music fitted the mood, just relax your mind & drift with it

I have never understood the difference between mindfulness and mindlessness!

I was surprised that the summer solstice track of the sun down to the horizon (the diagonal on the right hand side) bends outward as it approaches sunset. I'd always imagine the sun's track during the course of the day to be an arch, and that therefore that track would bend the other way.

I'm sure I've seen some of her videos.

I find it difficult to link the track of the Sun during the day with the track over the course of the year...
Unlike the Recapitulation theory rendered as "ontogeny recapitulates phylogeny".

That reminds me... I need to send some socks out for damnation.

If the pictures were taken at regular intervals I would suspect refraction; the sun's actual position being "along the arc", but presented to the eye as higher in elevation as it nears the horizon.

I am slow but the penny has dropped. Poor Marcella Giulia Pace, for whom the sun does shine. I am not surprised that our submariner was quick with the wit.

Not surprising when you consider the track of the sun in the sky during a day. It rises from the horizon, reaches a maximum altitude around midday, descends during the afternoon and evening until it reaches the horizon at sunset, after which we cannot see it. But it then has a negative altitude, reach a minimum (or maximum value of negative altitude) around midnight then rises back to the horizon at sunrise. In short, the track profile shows a wave pattern and may be regarded as negative cosine wave. The outward curve that you see is because the descending path is starting to level out as it approaches the minimum. This is most obvious in the arctic region where the altitude may never become negative and can also be seen during an overnight flight during June from somewhere near Vancouver to London which follows a great circle route taking it into the polar region. Provided you sit on the port side of the airplane.
