Orthogonal projections in A8 Coxeter plane

In eight-dimensional geometry, a pentellated 8-simplex is a convex uniform 8-polytope with 5th order truncations of the regular 8-simplex.

There are two unique pentellations of the 8-simplex. Including truncations, cantellations, runcinations, and sterications, there are 32 more pentellations. These polytopes are a part of a family 135 uniform 8-polytopes with A8 symmetry. A8, [37] has order 9 factorial symmetry, or 362880. The bipentalled form is symmetrically ringed, doubling the symmetry order to 725760, and is represented the double-bracketed group [[37]]. The A8 Coxeter plane projection shows order [9] symmetry for the pentellated 8-simplex, while the bipentellated 8-simple is doubled to [18] symmetry.
