Stellation - Stellation To Infinity

Stellation To Infinity

Wenninger noticed that some polyhedra, such as the cube, do not have any finite stellations. The stellation cells are prisms which extend to infinity. The figure comprising these prisms is a stellation to infinity. By most definitions of a polyhedron, these stellations are not strictly polyhedra. They occur as dual polyhedra of the uniform hemipolyhedra.
