A geosynchronous satellite is a satellite in geosynchronous orbit, with an orbital period the same as the Earth's rotation period. Such a satellite
returns to the same position in the sky after each sidereal day, and
over the course of a day traces out a path in the sky that is typically
some form of analemma.
