Confusing shadows

The shadows are all wrong in that APOD photo, about 90 degrees off the direction they should be cast.

I had to read through the caption a few times to notice that the sun photo series and the background photo were taken at different times of the day.

Your link is to The Astronomy Picture of the Day, which has changed to the Fireworks Galaxy NGC 6946.

Here’s a hard link to the analemma photo
