Good Red Friday (and Summer Solstice) morning RP. Today's Astronomy Picture of the Day (APOD) video clip is titled "Sunset Analemma." An analemma is a diagram showing the variation of the position of the Sun in the sky over the course of a year, as viewed at a fixed time of day and from a fixed location on the Earth. The result is a figure 8 as shown on the APOD page.
Today's video clip (you'll wind up on Youtube for 4:23) shows the position of the Sun in the sky over Gatto Corvino ("Raven Cat") in Sicily at 4:45pm beginning June 21, 2018.

Maj William W. 'Bill' Price
Good morning Maj Marty Hogan. I especially enjoyed the collection of photos at the end of the video. We may have to take a field trip to Gatto Corvino.

ANALEMMA AND AMPLITUDE OCCASIVE FROM SICILY - 2016/2019 Video: Marcella Giulia Pace (www.greenflash.photo) Music: "3 of 3" by Paolo Battaglia
Thank you, my friend Maj William W. 'Bill' Price for posting your daily Astronomy Picture of the Day (APOD) which in this case is the video clip entitled "Sunset Analemma."
Image: Analemma Sunset
"Explanation: Today, the solstice is at 15:54 Universal Time, the Sun reaching the northernmost declination in its yearly journey through planet Earth's sky. A June solstice marks the astronomical beginning of summer in the northern hemisphere and winter in the south. It also brings the north's longest day, the longest period between sunrise and sunset. In fact the June solstice sun is near the top, at the most northern point in the analemma or figure 8 curve traced by the position of the Sun in this composite photo. The analemma was created (video) from images taken every 10 days at the same time from June 21, 2018 and June 7, 2019. The time was chosen to be the year's earliest sunset near the December solstice, so the analemma's lowest point just kisses the unobstructed sea horizon at the left. Sunsets arranged along the horizon toward the right (north) are centered on the sunset at the September equinox and end with sunset at the June solstice."
Thank you, my friend Maj Marty Hogan for mentioning me.

Good "Red" Friday Afternoon Maj William W. 'Bill' Price! I am a bit late viewing your APOD today due to appointments this morning and some DAV Work for my DAV monthly meeting tomorrow morning!
This is certainly an interesting perspective that puts into a visual how one views it in his or her mind...I now have a visual memorized to go along with the facts as I know them... Have a wonderful Friday afternoon and evening, Bill!
