Kepler-Poinsot solids
The Kepler-Poinsot solids are the four self-intersecting regular polyhedra. Two of them (the Small Stellated Dodecahedron and the Great Stellated Dodecahedron) were discovered by Johannes Kepler (1571-1630). The other two (the Great Dodecahedron and Great Icosahedron) were discovered by Louis Poinsot (1777-1859) and are the duals of the two Kepler solids. Like the Platonic solids, these solids are regular because each uses the same regular polygon or star polygon for each face, with the same number of faces meeting at each vertex. The difference is that these four solids are self-intersecting. The Kepler-Poinsot solids are the only self-intersecting regular polyhedra.
