A transparent model of the great icosahedron (See also Animation)

It has a density of 7, as shown in this cross-section.

It is a stellation of the icosahedron, counted by Wenninger as model and the 16th of 17 stellations of the icosahedron and 7th of 59 stellations by Coxeter.

This polyhedron represents a spherical tiling with a density of 7. (One spherical triangle face is shown above, outlined in blue, filled in yellow)

Famous quotes containing the word images:

    Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven images of the Lord, thy God, nor of men who are his creatures.
    Max Frisch (1911–1991)

    I tell it stories now and then
    and feed it images like honey.
    I will not speculate today
    with poems that think they’re money.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    Wisdom and Spirit of the universe!
    Thou Soul that art the eternity of thought,
    That givest to forms and images a breath
    And everlasting motion,
