Analemma...

Trivia for the day! Do you know what it means? Quick!

The figure-8 path the Sun follows over the course of a year is called an analemma.

The images taken over a year at the same time were superimposed to create the image above. You can see Venus in the lower right corner. I've sometimes thought about doing that, taking a picture everyday for a year... Just never get around to it though... :)
