Year distribution of sunrise and sunset times in Molodyozhnaya Station, East Antarctica - 2026

The following graph shows sunrise and sunset times in Molodyozhnaya Station, East Antarctica for every day of the year.

Molodyozhnaya Station Analemma

Due to Earth's tilted axis and slightly elliptical orbit, the Sun is never seen in the same position at noon in Molodyozhnaya Station. Throughout the year, it slowly traces this figure-eight:

Over the year, the 12:00 Sun ranges from 1.1° below the horizon (around Jun 20) to 45.8° above it (around Dec 23) in Molodyozhnaya Station. The smaller loop hangs at the bottom, the signature of a Southern Hemisphere analemma. For about 36 days around midwinter the whole figure sinks below the horizon — the Sun does not rise at noon at all.

The technical chart below plots one dot per day, labels the first day of each month, marks the solstices, equinoxes, perihelion and aphelion, and draws the noon altitude of the equinoxes (90° minus your latitude) together with its ±23.4° seasonal limits.

Why does the figure look wider here than in the sky view above?

Both draw the same data, but with different conventions. The sky view uses the same scale on both axes, so it shows the analemma with its true proportions, as a camera would capture it: about 47° tall and only a few degrees wide. This chart, like most technical analemma diagrams, stretches each axis independently to fill the plot, expanding the narrow azimuth range several times so its day-to-day variation can actually be read. Also, azimuth is not sky distance: near the zenith, one degree of azimuth spans much less than one degree across the sky, which further widens the figure in this representation.
