Painted from these passages. Hover a reference to read it.

Uversa is an architectural sphere, built to order for its purpose (15:5.13, 15:7.1)
It shares the light of near-by suns but is independently lighted and heated: it has a sun giving light without heat, and is heated by energy currents near its surface (15:7.1)
It belongs to one of the greater systems near the astronomical center of the superuniverse (15:7.1); all sectors of Orvonton, the star drifts, rotate around it (15:3.7, 15:3.13)
Immediately surrounded by seven clusters of seventy specialized worlds each, the higher universities of spiritual training; arriving pilgrims are received on these worlds, but graduates depart for Havona direct from the shores of Uversa (15:7.10)
Headquarters worlds partake of the nature of Paradise and increase in size and glory from Jerusem inward; all their satellites are architectural spheres (15:7.3)
Its glory surpasses any wonder of the time-space creations (15:7.11)

Seen from space on approach, so the seven clusters can be read as seven distinct groupings of small spheres ringing the central world
Background of dense, wheeling star clouds, since Uversa sits near the center of Orvonton with the star drifts circling it
Graduates leaving for Havona shown as fine luminous streaks rising from the world's surface

Surface features of Uversa, the arrangement of the clusters, the colour of its heatless sun, the form of departing transports
Known inaccuracy: the painting shows nine clusters of worlds; the text gives seven (15:7.10). It also has a painted border.
