Astrophysicist here: This is caused by the moon developing a crescent shape at each end of the path, resulting in a boomerang-like behavior where the rotational velocity of the moon causes it to return back to where it was thrown.
You spelled Astralphysicist wrong.
Wait a minute
Fucking lol!
It’s beautiful, but unfortunately a fake. This is from a reddit comment for years ago:
This is supposed to represent a lunar analemma, but it’s completely faked. And not just in the sense that it’s a composite, in the sense that the relative sizes and positions are completely made up.
This is an actual analemma, with correct scaling:
Apologies, I am but a humble reposter and didn’t check :,-)
No worries, I was just checking if it was by the guy that usually shares his setups. But then I found the other thread instead
This shape is called an analemma for anyone looking for more info.
I wonder if that’s the inspiration for the infinity symbol?
analemma
Watson or Stone?
Thompson actually
Stone if given the choice.
This is beautiful!
It sure is. I audibly gasped!
Does it complete the infinity symbol in the next 28 days?
I’d love a real answer to this lol
Me too!
hello can I have your house please
Where’s it goin
You did something wrong, the moon appears upside down
