From the explanation

“An analemma is that figure-8 curve that you get when you mark the position of the Sun at the same time each day throughout planet Earth’s year. Above, 26 separate exposures were recorded to illustrate the regular solar motion — a difficult project performed mostly during the calendar year 2006.”
