Hex sphere

A Goldberg GP(3,0) — 92 faces, 12 pentagons + 80 hexagons — explored as candidate geometry for the Infinite Syndicate homepage. Move the cursor over each canvas to tilt the sphere; if you leave it idle for a moment it drifts on its own. The five labeled cells are the would-be navigation slots. Move the cursor outside the canvas to let it settle; bring it back in to take control again.
