I made this, using Stella 4d (available here), by multiple stellation of the faceted great rhombicosidodecahedron shown in the post immediately before this one.

Five Variants of the Compound of Two Tetrahedra

This is the compound of two tetrahedra, also known as Johannes Kepler’s Stella Octangula.

I found the five variations of this polyhedral compound shown below, located deep within the stellation-series of the great rhombicuboctahedron.

Here’s the pentagonal icositetrahedron. It is the dual of the snub cube.

And here is its third stellation. As you can see, it’s a compound of two irregular dodecahedra.
