 **Follow this link for the activity and the instructions: [[https://trinket.io/library/trinkets/4b1a7a7441|link]]**
+**Or, read the instructions after the image below, and copy the code into your own GlowScript file.**
 You should see something that looks like this:

+{{ satellite_trinket_screenshot.png?800 | trinket screenshot}}
 If you click on the "Instructions" tab in the upper right, a set of instructions for the activity should pop up. Click between "Instructions" and "Result" to alternately view the instructions and the animation. If you prefer, the same instructions are also listed below.
