From Dr. Chris, a picture of the hebesphenomegacorona on board the International Space Station. Don't miss the history of the solid beneath the picture--it's a nice introduction to a concept I wrote a paper on back when I was a math and physics student--"Johnson solids"*. Here's a neat rendering of all the solids next to one another. Someone needs to convince Zocchi or Chessex to make a Johnson Solids Dice Set. I'd buy one.

* UPDATE: Just to clarify for Slow Joe in the Back Row of the Peanut Gallery**: I wrote a paper about Johnson solids, not the Paper On Johnson solids. You're thinking of Norman Johnson.
