These squares show the Unix time, which counts the seconds since 1970.
In 2038, 32-bit clocks like this will overflow, and the two billion towers of time will be solved.
These polygons show the time in the format yy:M:w:d:h:mm:ss, where M is the month (empty 11-gon for January and full 11-gon for December), w is the week in the month, and d is the day of the week (empty hexagon for Monday and full hexagon for Sunday).
Inspired by blobmaker, I made some blobs which change over time. The leftmost blob has a travelling wave that passes the top once per millennium. The following blobs have waves that pass once per year, day, hour, minute, and second, respectively.
The final blob has all six of the above waves on it.
The left clock shows orbits of the Earth and Moon around the Sun, as viewed from the perspective of the North Star. The tropical zodiac are fixed in the surrounding sky, and shaded lines show the declination of the Sun at 10° intervals. The top and bottom of the Earth's orbit correspond to the June and December solstices.
The right clock shows the Moon phase, as seen from Earth.

The highest peak moves from right to left once per millenium, the next highest once per year, once per day, once per hour, and once per minute.
