Due to the earth’s tilt about its axis (23.45°) and its elliptical orbit about the sun, the location of the sun is not constant from day to day when observed at the same time on each day over the course of a full year. Furthermore, this loop will be inclined at different angles depending on one’s geographical latitude.</span></em></p> <p><em><span>via </span></em><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://itfeelsfeynman.tumblr.com/post/46264938259/an-analemma-is-the-figure-8-loop-that-results">itfeelsfeynman</a></p> </blockquote>http://laughatmyself.tumblr.com/post/46442097558http://laughatmyself.tumblr.com/post/46442097558Wed, 27 Mar 2013 16:07:15 -0400<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/7cda2ddeb7c26dc1f41d0b39ed250747/tumblr_mhuz8j7Ydy1qa9siqo1_500.gif"/><br/><br/>http://laughatmyself.tumblr.com/post/42566286913http://laughatmyself.tumblr.com/post/42566286913Fri, 08 Feb 2013 01:21:18 -0500<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/0cfecb57712cfd77f1374330d886f72e/tumblr_mh38tlBjab1qzy0ygo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a href="http://crookedindifference.com/post/41359471965/starry-night-of-alamut" class="tumblr_blog">crookedindifference</a>:</p> <blockquote><p><a href="http://www.twanight.org/newTWAN/photos.asp?ID=3002601&Sort="><strong>Starry Night of Alamut</strong></a></p></blockquote>http://laughatmyself.tumblr.com/post/41419188641http://laughatmyself.tumblr.com/post/41419188641Thu, 24 Jan 2013 23:44:48 -0500<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/cbcec3ce95c678f436afe7fdee1087ad/tumblr_mh36f75IAk1qzy0ygo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a href="http://crookedindifference.com/post/41286604932/sequoias-and-the-stars" class="tumblr_blog">crookedindifference</a>:</p> <blockquote><p><a href="http://www.twanight.org/newTWAN/photos.asp?ID=3003845&Sort=Region"><strong>Sequoias and the Stars</strong></a></p></blockquote>http://laughatmyself.tumblr.com/post/41290433741http://laughatmyself.tumblr.com/post/41290433741Wed, 23 Jan 2013 13:36:08 -0500<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/6c9443504323ce5012ca6ae219aed533/tumblr_mgp3himUhu1s1mt5yo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a href="http://colchrishadfield.tumblr.com/post/40665243170/im-sure-this-river-takes-itself-seriously-but-it" class="tumblr_blog">colchrishadfield</a>:</p> <blockquote><p><span>I’m sure this river takes itself seriously, but it makes me laugh.</span></p></blockquote> Spent an hour poring over the 8 pages (so far) of Col Hadfield’s tumblr.
