Space Satellite
Looking Close on Friday: "Spirals" theme
A vintage toy from the 1950s, Space Satellite is a toy/game that I had as a kid. It requires the player to tilt the card in a way that rolls the ball bearing "satellite" up a molded plastic spiral to a resting place on top of the spiral. It's not easy to do, by the way. I did a bit of spiral-like light painting in keeping with the theme, and processed the image in a scratchy style in an effort to match the now scratchy condition of the clear plastic dome on the toy.
