Four Sets of Five Circles On Each of the Faces of a Dodecahedron

Dodecahedron

After using Geometer’s Sketchpad and MS-Paint to make the image on the faces (seen alone in the last post), I then used Stella 4d: Polyhedron Navigator to project these images onto a red dodecahedron, and create this .gif. Stella is available, including as a free trial download, at http://www.software3d.com/Stella.php.
