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.

Famous quotes containing the word images:

    You may read any quantity of books, and you may almost as ignorant as you were at starting, if you don’t have, at the back of your minds, the change for words in definite images which can only be acquired through the operation of your observing faculties on the phenomena of nature.
    Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–95)

    Ideas are refined and multiplied in the commerce of minds. In their splendor, images effect a very simple communion of souls.
    Gaston Bachelard (1884–1962)

    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)
