There have also been a large number of bug fixes and closes feature requests and enhancements (see full list of changes).Ī huge thanks to the people who helped us a lot by reporting bugs! Enhancements in visualization of markings and in scripting engine.Many fixes in core and plugins for support HiDPI devices.Updated Almagest and al-Sufi skycultures.Updated designations of stars and handling of list of designations and common names those stars.Time step: custom interval: 300.020100 solar days (around 725 Stellarium Jupiter's days)Īdditional note: after I updated the Stellarium, the answer changed a lot (but it is still related to the wrong step), so don't get confused with comments bellow (they are referring to the previous version of an answer).The Stellarium team are delighted to announce the release of Stellarium 0.21.1.✓ line ✓ markers □ dates □ magnitude ✓ H.C.The multiple of such days is around 300.0201 solar days on Earth. You have to use so called 'Stellarium Jupiter's day'. I think that Stellarium doesn't use same length of Jupiter's day as Wikipedia (it is made from gas), so such analemma (with even slight deviation) is incorrect. Try to change step of 1 solar day to 1.001 solar days. On the newest version of Stellarium, one can set custom step. My assertion is that they didn't set the lengths of days on the other planets. I believe that the developers of Stellarium also coded the solar day for Mars in Stellarium, so when you setup 1 solar day on Mars, it is actually same as 24 hours and 37 minutes. Mars' day is around 37 minutes longer than ours, thus the analemma should not be correct, but still it is.

When you set 1 solar day on Mars, it correctly shows you the analemma. Thus, the Sun shows on its mean solar noon and shows correct analemma. Imagine we set 1 solar day as one step for an analemma (= 24 hours). I believe that the answer is related to lengths of solar days on planets. I reproduced yours example, and I got same results: Mars' analemma looks good, but Jupiter's is simply not similar to the real one. Clearly, Jupiter's looks differently than yours. Thus, Jupiter's analemma should be elliptical, which clearly isn't.Īfter some googling, I found this image of analemmas on different planets. If both are important enough, that sometimes eccentricity or axial tilt dominates, a figure-eight results. If either of the variables (such as eccentricity) is significant, and the other is practically zero (as is the case on Jupiter, with only a 3° tilt), the figure will be something much closer to an ellipse. Thus, if either of these variables (such as eccentricity) always dominates the other (as is the case on Mars), the analemma will resemble a teardrop. On Earth, the analemma appears as a figure-eight, but on other Solar System bodies, it may be very different due to the interplay between the three parameters determining the analemma: axial tilt of each body, eccentricity of the body's elliptic orbit, and position of either apses or equinoxes.
