All of us have wondered at the gorgeous photos of the analemma
and at the fact that this phenomenon has been rarely photographed...
Well, one needs a full year's time to take the picture and no clouds,
storms, fogs, etc in the whole year.
Perhaps, many of you do not know that the moon makes a similar
analemma in a single (lunar) month. As the moon takes 24h51m28s
to transit the meridian *as an average*, some of its transits would happen
at daytime and the moon won't be seen, so the lunar analemma can't be
complete, but do you know of somebody having tried to take this picture...?
It doesn't seem so difficult: just 28 pictures, one every 24h51m28s,
preferably
in winter months (winter because night time is longer and because the full
moon culminates higher at noon).
