Transparent model Density Stellation diagram Spherical tiling

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:

    “And images of self-confusednesses
    Which hurt imaginations only see—
    And from this nothing seen, tells news of devils,
    Which but expressions be of inward evils.”
    —Fulke Greville (1554–1628)

    “The world is for thousands a freak show; the images flicker past and vanish; the impressions remain flat and unconnected in the soul. Thus they are easily led by the opinions of others, are content to let their impressions be shuffled and rearranged and evaluated differently.”
    —Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe (1749–1832)

    “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)
