Astonishing 7-Symmetric Tiling

Visible to anyone in the world

This astonishing tiling with 7-fold symmetry is build from identical pentagonal tiles.


I find the way it is constructed fascinating.

The drawing is by Tom Ruen and I think the discoverer of the pattern was Klaassen, who showed in 2016 that a similar pentagonal tiling can be found for any degree of symmetry, see here.
