AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the challenge of visualizing the analemma, which is influenced by factors like obliquity, eccentricity, and the angle between the apse line and the line of solstices. Users express difficulty in finding 3D simulations of the analemma online. Recommendations include creating a personal simulation using math programs, as well as two specific 2D analysis programs. The conversation highlights the need for better resources and tools for understanding the analemma visually. Overall, there is a call for more accessible 3D graphics related to this astronomical phenomenon.

Recently I read about http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Analemma" on the internet but I cannot visualise their formation depending upon the causative factors such as obliquity, eccentricity, and the angle between the apse line and the line of solstices. I wanted to know if someone knows about 3D visualisations and graphics anywhere on the net.

It is very difficult to find on the internet a 3d simulation program of analemma but you can try to make one of your own using Math programs.
If that helps i recommend two programmes of 2d analyses of the analema.

Is a homemade radio telescope realistic? There seems to be a confluence of multiple technologies that makes the situation better than when I was a wee lad: software-defined radio (SDR), the easy availability of satellite dishes, surveillance drives, and fast CPUs. Let's take a step back - it is trivial to see the sun in radio. An old analog TV, a set of "rabbit ears" antenna, and you're good to go. Point the antenna at the sun (i.e. the ears are perpendicular to it) and there is...
