The 43rd Stellation of the Snub Dodecahedron, and Related Polyhedra, Part Two
Just like I did in the first part of this two-part post, I’m starting with the snub dodecahedron’s 43rd stellation. This time, though, this polyhedral exploration is going in another direction. In the image below, the yellow kites seen above … Continue reading
The 43rd Stellation of the Snub Dodecahedron, and Related Polyhedra, Part One
If you stellate the snub dodecahedron 43 times, this is the result. The yellow faces are kites, not rhombi. Like the snub dodecahedron itself, this polyhedron is chiral. Here is the mirror-image of the polyhedron shown above. Any chiral polyhedron … Continue reading

Selected Stellations of the Truncated Dodecahedron
This is the truncated dodecahedron. It is one of the Archimedean solids. This polyhedron has a long stellation-series, from which I selected several on aesthetic grounds. The figure immediately below is the truncated dodecahedron’s 16th stellation. Here is the 21st … Continue reading
