	Dodecahedron - LoveToKnow 1911
		The "small stellated dodecahedron," the "great dodecahedron" and the "great stellated dodecahedron" are Kepler-Poinsot solids; and the "truncated" and "snub dodecahedra" are Archimedean solids (see Polyhedron).
		In crystallography, the regular or ordinary dodecahedron is an impossible form since the faces cut the axes in irrational ratios; the "pentagonal dodecahedron" of crystallographers has irregular pentagons for faces, while the geometrical solid, on the other hand, has regular ones.
		The "rhombic dodecahedron," one of the geometrical semiregular solids, is an important crystal form.

		A dodecahedron is any polyhedron with twelve faces, but usually a regular dodecahedron is meant: a Platonic solid composed of twelve regular pentagonal faces, with three meeting at each vertex.
		The centers of the faces of a regular dodecahedron are the vertices of a regular icosahedron and the centers of the faces of a regular icosahedron are the vertices of a regular dodecahedron.
		It follows that the length of the edges of the dodecahedron is the greatest of the two parts in which the edge of the cube is divided by the golden section!

		It represents the perfect mediation of the infinite and the finite, the sphere and the cube, analogous to the circle and the square.
		Kepler tried to associate the polyhedra with the relative orbits of the planets known at that time (planet Earth was related to the Dodecahedron), and in turn to correlate these to rather sweeping musical frequencies, the sound of which create a harmony, into which we are born, always hearing, indeed a part of it.

	Golden section - Pentagon and Pentagram - Dodecahedron
		As a result we will understand how a regular dodecahedron can be constructed starting from a cube by putting suitable "roofs" on it, as Euclid already did...
		The length of the diagonals of the pentagons equals the length of the sides of the cube.
		Finally, it's possible to unfold the dodecahedron and refold it into the cube that served as the basis for its construction.

	The Dodecahedron
		The icosehedron and the dodecahedron are 'duals' (as are the cube and the octahedron).
		So the dodecahedron is designed such that the distance to the 2 large pentagonal planes from the top or bottom faces is exactly equal to the distance between the center and a vertex of any of the faces of the dodecahedron.
		The dodecahedron unites the geometry of crystals and lattices (root 2 and root 3) with the geometry of Phi (root 5), found in the biology of organic life.

		Our final regular polyhedron is the dodecahedron which has regular pentagons as faces (see Figure 13).
		The dodecahedron is the dual of the icosahedron - this is easy to see by noticing that five triangles surround each vertex of the icosahedron and so the dual of the icosahedron has pentagonal faces.
		Since the dodecahedron is the dual of the icosahedron, it has the same numbers of axes of symmetry and reflection planes.

		Plato was probably thinking of an earlier tradition dating back to the Pythagoreans--the notion that the dodecahedron formed the "timbers" on which the spherical bulk of the heavens was built.
		Johannes Kepler (1571-1630) placed a dodecahedron between Mars and Jupiter in his ingenious model of the solar system and later studied the properties of polyhedra in considerable detail (see http://www.georgehart.com/virtual-polyhedra/kepler.html).

	96 The Dodecahedron (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		The regular dodecahedron has 31 axes of symmetry: 10 are threefold, passing through pairs of opposite vertices; 6 are fivefold, passing through the centers of opposite faces; and 15 are twofold, passing through the mid-points of opposite sides.
		The relationship between the dodecahedron and the cube can be seen either by joining the mid-point of faces to form the vertices of three rectangles (whose edges are in the golden ratio) which are mutually perpendicular, or by choosing eight vertices of the dodecahedron which are also the vertices of a cube:
		A perhaps surprising fact is that when a regular dodecahedron and a regular icosahedron are inscribed in the same sphere, the dodecahedron occupies a larger proportion of the spheres' volume.

	Tetrahedral Stellations of the Dodecahedron
		(The dodecahedron itself and its three well-known stellations in the Kepler-Poinsot category have full icosahedral symmetry.) Each is a kind of nonconvex dodecahedron with twelve identical (disconnected) faces in the face planes of a regular dodecahedron.
		A tetrahedral 4-coloring of the dodecahedron can either have no adjacent faces of the same color (method 1) or groups of three of the same color (method 2).
		Each of the following tetrahedral stellations of the dodecahedron is given by a subset of these six cells, but many possibilities are not included because either they close off a void in the center or their mirror image is already included.
