Five congruent circles have centers at the vertices of a regular pentagon so that each of the circles is tangent to its two neighbors. A sixth circle (shaded in the diagram below) congruent to the other five is placed tangent to two of the five. If this sixth circle is allowed to roll without slipping around the exterior of the figure formed by the other five circles, then it will turn through an angle of $k$ degrees before it returns to its starting position. Find $k$.
