An Icosahedron, Augmented with Twenty Great Icosahedra

An Icosahedron, Augmented with Twenty Great Icosahedra

The picture above uses symmetry to divide the faces of this polyhedral cluster into color groups. This next one puts faces in the same color-group if and only if they are parallel.

Stellating this once yielded this result, again colored by face-type, like the first image here:

I made these using Stella 4d, which you can try at www.software3d.com/Stella.php.
