You know the Platonic solids, right?

the five platonic solids

If not, you can brush up on them here — but wait, there’s more… so much more. In the aptly named Polyhedra Viewer, you can not only catch up on uniform polyhedra but also on Johnson solids like pyramids, cupolæ, rotundæ, augmented, diminished… you know what, just go look at them all.

(If you click on them, you can mess with them.)

And if you have the urge to make some of these things, like in the real world, check out Stacy Speyer’s site.
