Lovely picture! Either I don't get the meme part or I can't find Saddam.
- He’s there, in the jpg artifacts
- Those aren't the sun in the sky. They're beans.
- The meme is that there is no meme, and the picture is just doctored - the sun doesn't follow that pattern at all....
  
  It absolutely does, my friend. It's called the analemma.

- All my Lemmings love analemmas
  
  It’s how new Lemmings are born.
  
  💀💀
  
  🎵 Ooh, my lovely, glowing one, my glowing one
  When you gonna trace that line, Analemma?
  Ooh, you make the seasons run, the seasons run
  Got me followin’ the curve, Analemma
  Never gonna stop, tilt it up, Earth's axial bind
  I always look it up, to see that figure-8 unwind
  My, my, my, ay, ah, wooh!
  A-a-a-Analemma
  Come a little closer, sun, a-closer, sun
  Shining through the path in the sky, Analemma
  Keep it in geometry, you’re teasing me
  Tracing out the loop with such style, Analemma
  Never gonna stop, tilt it up, Earth's axial bind
  I always look it up, to see that figure-8 unwind
  My, my, my, ay, ah, wooh!
  A-a-a-Analemma
  A-a-a-Analemma
  When you gonna show to me, show to me?
  Is it just a matter of time, Analemma?
  Is it symmetry, symmetry?
  Or is it just a dance in the sky, Analemma?
  Never gonna stop, tilt it up, Earth's axial bind
  I always look it up, to see that figure-8 unwind
  My, my, my, ay, ah, wooh!
  A-a-a-a-a-a-a-my, my, my, ay, ah, wooh!
  A-a-a-Analemma
  A-a-a-Analemma
  A-a-a-Analemma
  A-a-a-Analemma
  Oh, Analemma
  Oh, Analemma
  *Oh, Analemma!*🎶
  (scandalous)
- hey that's what we call my friend Emma
  
  Does she want more friends?
- Watson or Stone?
  (A Lemming's reply when I made the same juvenile joke last time was: 'Thompson, actually')

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.
- And there’s still people out there, believing that.
  
  Ridiculous. Clearly it's turtles all the way down.

Go home, sun. You're drunk.

I think I count 46 shots. Missed a few weeks.
- Or it was overcast on those days. 46/52 is far better than you'd be able to manage in my area.

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.

"Every week" but there are only 46 suns in the image. I will never trust strangers on the internet again

Where is Saddam?
- i think the clouds?

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.

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

Makes me think of Anathem
- My analemma.

Neat. I naturally assume the very few apparent gaps are due to bad/cloudy weather on those particular days..
- There should be 52 suns in the picture
  
  Yes, that's exactly my point. I counted 46.
  You can't expect clear skies every day/week of the year can you?

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

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 Earth's orbit is an ellipse, not a circle, and therefore the Earth speeds up or slows down depending on where on its orbit it is at the time. In turn this means that the duration of the solar day fluctuates from day to day, from a bit under 24h to a bit over 24h and back.
  So if you take a picture every 24h precisely the sun will appear to move horizontally a little bit on top of the expected vertical movement.

  That's it! Thank you.

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.

Which planet were these pictures taken on? On my planet the sun looks much bigger.
- you can change the relative size of things with zoom

Looks like the diagram for an sp3 hybridized electron orbital

We wobble but we dont fall down

you start going insane, and start to hallucinate
