OrbisTempusColorem is presents 34 Time Bands. They range from -12hr
to +14hr. Each is represented by 3 places on the globe in this order:
Most Northerly
Midway
Most Southerly
They are not evenly distributed as land is not evenly distributed and some
countries have their own unique time band. Clicking on a circle will open the

You open more than one at a time.
