It might look difficult to read the time at first, UR-100’s astrophysics rule the URWERK universe through its rotating satellites that display hours and minutes. Isochronal revolutions create a miniature cool cosmic ballet where the hour satellites also display minutes as they traverse 120-degree across that bright green scale.
