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.

Famous quotes containing the word infinity:
“As we begin to comprehend that the earth itself is a kind of manned spaceship hurtling through the infinity of space—it will seem increasingly absurd that we have not better organized the life of the human family.”
—Hubert H. Humphrey (1911–1978)
