#### Triangulated Bucky Ball, C60, Geodesic Dome
#####In honor of Prof. Buckminster Fuller, who taught at SIU Carbondale in the 1960s.
The triangulated bucky ball is based on a truncated icosohedron. Each pentagon and hexagon face is extruded so that all the vertices fall on the circumsphere of the bucky ball. The bucky ball has a circumsphere, two different inspheres, and a midsphere. The tapered extrusions are based on angle calculations using these spheres as references (see below f
