I made this chiral polyhedron using Stella 4d, which you can try for yourself — free — at this website. It is a faceted form of the pentagonal hexecontahedron, which is the dual of the snub dodecahedron.

The Four Gas Giants on the Faces of a Dodecahedron

These images of Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune were all acquired by NASA. I placed them on this polyhedron, and created this rotating .gif, using Stella 4d, which you can try for free at this website.
The Galilean Moons of Jupiter on a Rotating Rhombic Dodecahedron

These images of Ganymede, Io, Callisto, and Europa were all acquired by NASA. I placed them on this polyhedron, and created this rotating .gif, using Stella 4d, which you can try for free at this website.
Two Views of a Faceted Dodecahedron
This is one of many possible facetings of the dodecahedron. It’s colored by face type above, and is shown in “rainbow color mode” below. I made both rotating images using Stella 4d, which you can try for free at this website.

A Caffeinated Rhombic Dodecahedron

This image of a caffeine molecule comes from this website. I put it on the faces of this rhombic dodecahedron, and created this rotating model, using Stella 4d: Polyhedron Navigator, which you can try for free right here.
