The skew pentagram is a regular skew polygon in 3D Euclidean space. Despite its name it has 10 sides and 10 vertices. It is the result of blending a pentagram with a digon. Since the pentagram is not 2-colorable the result has twice as many vertices and edges as the pentagram. It consists of the 10 lateral edges of a pentagonal retroprism.
