 It will be tilted at an angle depending on your latitude or inverted if you're in the southern hemisphere. And if you're on another planet, you might find something completely different. Depending on that planet's orbital eccentricity and axial tilt, the analemma might appear as a tear drop, oval, or even a straight line.
