The '''compound of cube and octahedron''' is a [[polyhedron]] which can be seen as either a polyhedral [[stellation]] or a [[Polyhedron compound|compound]].

Line 38 ⟶ 39:
It has [[octahedral symmetry]] ('''O'''<sub>''h''</sub>) and shares the same vertices as a [[rhombic dodecahedron]].
 
This can be seen as the three-dimensional equivalent of the compound of two squares ({8/2} "[[octagram]]"); this series continues on to infinity, with the four-dimensional equivalent being the [[compound of tesseract and 16-cell]].
