Kepler-Poinsot Polyhedron: Also known as
The Kepler-Poinsot polyhedra (or solids) are sometimes seen referred to as the Kepler-Poinsot stellated polyhedra, but the fact that they are stellated is usually taken for granted.
Some sources refer to them as Poinsot solids, preferring to attribute them wholly to Louis Poinsot.
