Nifty little gadget

This clever little device had unfortunately stopped working properly. Collapsed together it had…used to be able to hold a candle flame in just the right position until it burned out, but now it all folded in on itself, extinguishing the flame as soon as you lit it. In the shape it reminded me of a Sputnik. Nice old tin can with various useful parts sticking out. I turned it into one, but also added a slowly blinking LED I tore from a pound store gizmo, and a confused Chimp, looking down on Earth below. I imagine the blinking light replacing the single candle, and the Chimp looking at us, replacing us looking out at space.

All the parts that were inside the lantern, now outside the sputnik.
