Hi Frank. Wow, this was a great video demonstration of the results on Earth going through seasons with the yearly analemma path of the Sun overhead. Thanks for finding and sharing this interesting link with us on here Frank and keep up the great work.

Nice Frank. Only two days until the Vernal Equinox, which is great.

Hi Frank and Michael. I just took a photo of our very old Cram's 12" family world globe showing the analemma of the sun. Notice that the upper and lower ends represent the appropriate winter and summer solstice and the intersections at the equator represents the appropriate spring and autumn equinox.

Hi Jeff. Yes, you are correct.
"Spring has sprung and the grass is tall,
flowers and vegetables now until fall"

Marshall that globe is fantastic !
I’ve never seen one like that and I love that “ visual “ effect of seeing the seasons like that.
Thank you for sharing that.
