rObC introduced me to a wonderful webpage called "Astronomy Picture of the day"
and although I don't always have the time to go have a look - this picture I found breathtaking.
It is called: Tutulemma: Solar Eclipse Analemma
The authors of the page always gives an explanation of the picture..
Explanation: If you went outside at exactly the same time every day and took a picture that included the Sun, how would the Sun appear to move? With great planning and effort, such a series of images can be taken. The figure-8 path the Sun follows over the course of a year is called an analemma. With even greater planning and effort, the series can include a total eclipse of the Sun as one of the images. Pictured is such a total solar eclipse analemma or Tutulemma - a term coined by the photographers based on the Turkish word for eclipse. The composite image sequence was recorded from Turkey starting in 2005. The base image for the sequence is from the total phase of a solar eclipse as viewed from Side, Turkey on 2006 March 29. Venus was also visible during totality, toward the lower right.
Note the infinity symbol that the path of the sun creates...and then there are still people that believe that God does not exist and do not realize his infinite wisdom..
