Without even checking, I know that my automatic tweet about this post (as @RobertLovesPi) will be retweeted by the @HexagonBot on Twitter. Why? Because @HexagonBot retweets any tweet containing the word “hexagon,” or “hexagons.” I have absolutely no idea why other polygons lack their own Twitterbots, though.

Those last two were duals of each other. The next two are as well.
These next two are duals, as are the pair that follows them.
I’ll finish with one more dual pair.
All of these were made using Stella 4d: Polyhedron Navigator, which is available at http://www.software3d.com/Stella.php.
Medium: electrons and photons, arranged carefully using Stella 4d: Polyhedron Navigator, software I bought at http://www.software3d.com/Stella.php. There is a free trial download available at the same website.
Created using Stella 4d, software available at http://www.software3d.com/Stella.php.
After using Google to find the image of this galaxy, I used software called Stella 4d (available at http://www.software3d.com/Stella.php) to project it onto the twelve pentagonal faces of an icosidodecahedron, and then hid the triangular faces, as well as the vertices and edges — and then set the galaxies to rotate on the faces, as well as around the axis of the polyhedron.
I could not have made this without Stella 4d, software you can try for free (as a trial version), or buy, at http://www.software3d.com/Stella.php.
