Maybe it's just my machine but I don't see my avatar on my posts.

Anybody else see my spinning star?

More interestingly though: how does everyone see it spinning? Is it spinning clockwise or counter-clockwise when you look at it from the top?

Does it not change directions?

It;s a visual trick, you could see it spinning eaither way as you choose. Visually its too symmetrical to determine which is the leading edge,

I never managed to make the dancing girl change directions, but I can do it easily with Fred's pentagram. Bizarre.

I can also force it to swing either way, but on its own, it rotates always clockwise for me when looking from the top, i.e., I have to force my brain to see it swing the other way, and even after I forced it to turn, once I relax, it changes directions again.
