Not the greatest display
of this Amazingly Cool Clock with these Sun Animations.
Every frame advance of the Animations
causes the clock's date to hesitate
when your cursor hovers over either of them :(
Be sure and take this Clock down to the
'Clock Playground'
before you leave :)

Northern Hemisphere Sun Animation -
Seen from Northern Hemisphere Imagine that every two weeks,
at mid-day, you look out of a south-facing window.
Each time you look, you see the same part of the sky.
But the position of the Sun changes each time.
This animation shows what you would see.
You would not of course be able to see the stars passing in the
background that are shown in the animation.
However, watch for the Pleiades (Seven Sisters)
passing behind the Sun in May, followed by Orion in June.

South is at the foot of the picture and North at the top,
as it is seen from the northern hemisphere, facing south,
at mid-day. East is to the left, West is to the right.
The asymmetric figure "8" of the analemma - the looping path of the Sun -
is clearly seen, with a small loop in May - June - July
and a large loop in Nov - Dec - Jan.
The dashed purple line marks the ecliptic, which is the path of the Sun in the sky.
