Good morning, Rallypoint. Today's Astronomy Picture of the Day (APOD) is titled "Solstice to Solstice Solargraph Timelapse." A “matrix” of 27 Solarcan cameras were installed on the 2018 winter solstice overlooking Williestruther Loch (near Hawick) in the Scottish Borders, and all 27 exposures were started at the same time. Each week until the 2019 summer solstice, one of the cameras was retrieved from the matrix (ending that camera’s exposure). All the processed and scanned photos were then combined into a grid and a time-lapse showing the path of the Sun moving across the sky from winter (2018, bottom) to summer (2019, top). jYou can click on the image from the APOD page and see the result.

Well, I checked in quite early actually, but had to leave for my December DAV meeting and Christmas gathering, so that wiped me out for about 4 hours... I am back and when I did some research I could not find anything better to add to Major Price's APOD...
I hope you have had a wonderful day thus far, my friend!

WOW! Absolutely Amazing!
Totally Appropriate since POTUS just signed into effect the USSF...United States Space Force!
He also gave Military a 3.5% pay increase! Wonder if that means Retirees and Veterans!
(Really miss those 6% cost of living raises we used to receive!?)

Good Saturday afternoon my friend Maj William W. 'Bill' Price and thank you for posting the NASA Astronomy matrix Picture of the Day (AmPOD) for Saturday, December 21, 2019 entitled "Solstice to Solstice Solargraph Timelapse"

"Explanation: The 2019 December Solstice, on the first day of winter in planet Earth's northern hemisphere and summer in the south, is at 4:19 Universal Time December 22. That's December 21 for North America, though. Celebrate with a timelapse animation of the Sun's seasonal progression through the sky. It was made with solargraph images from an ingenious array of 27 pinhole cameras. The first frame from the Solarcan camera matrix was recorded near December 21, 2018. The last frame in the series finished near June 21, 2019, the northern summer solstice. All 27 camera exposures were started at the same time, with a camera covered and removed from the array once a week. Viewed consecutively the pinhole camera pictures accumulate the traces of the Sun's daily path from winter (bottom) to summer (top) solstice. Traces of the Sun's path are reflected by the foreground Williestruther Loch, in the Scottish Borders. Just select the image or follow this link to play the entire 27 frame (gif) timelapse."
