The animated motion of the analemma sun below was constructed from the original film negative containing the 46 single exposures. Its purpose is to illustrate the wandering motion of the sun during twelve months and whose net motion is described by the analemma curve or "figure eight". The bottom apex point represents winter solstice whereas the first solar disk to the immediate upper-left is the start of January and where we observe the gradual and steady increase in the sun's altitude from day-to-day. This increase continues into February and March and, by mid-April, we have reached the cross-over point between the two loops. The sun continues its steady rise across local skies but is now on the right portion of the upper loop and which peaks at the apex point of the upper loop on summer solstice. It is at this point that the sun will now start another gradual and steady pace but this time with declining altitude and where, during July and August, it will traverse the left side of the upper loop. We reach the cross-over point once again but this time at the end of August with the sun now losing altitude at a greater pace while it is now on the right side of the lower loop and which will climax with the winter solstice and the apex point once again.
