on and on it goes.
it's a useful platatude within boundries of understanding but it's not a rule.
I often see 'a broken clock . . . right twice a day' but it's really supposed to be a 'stopped clock is right twice a day'.
as I said one could write a book about this.
the statement is useful within a certain context.
for one it's a great conversation starter to turn the discussion into a hardcore one about epistemology.
the angle of how we face Saturn is important.
at various times during it's very long orbit the rings are oriented perpendicular from the line of sight on Earth across the diameter of those rings.
The rings for a time, being so thin, seem to vanish from view from Earth.
but if you had a camera pointed at them from some other angle, they'd still be there.
after a duration they start to come back into view from Earth.
This is basic Astronomy.
perpendicular isn't the correct term. The line of sight is in direct line with a diameter of the rings of Saturn, and thus the rings go out of view.

clocks aren't just used for time but also for calibration, measuring duration, and coordinating activities. They are used for alarms, and also used, sometimes, just as a pretty thing to indicate status and/or invoke a sense of wonder.
it really just depends if they get spammed or just posted tastefully.
no one was talking about 'clock' as a verb, anon.
