    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Octagon

    In geometry, an octagon (from Ancient Greek ὀκτάγωνον (oktágōnon) 'eight angles') is an eight-sided polygon or 8-gon.. A regular octagon has Schläfli symbol {8} [1] and can also be constructed as a quasiregular truncated square, t{4}, which alternates two types of edges.

    In geometry, a polygon is traditionally a plane figure that is bounded by a finite chain of straight line segments closing in a loop to form a closed chain. These segments are called its edges or sides , and the points where two of the edges meet are the polygon's vertices (singular: vertex) or corners .

    In Unicode, the "Eight Spoked Asterisk" symbol is U+2733.; The spikes are specially visible around Jupiter's moon Europa (on the left) in this NIRCam image.. The 8-pointed diffraction spikes of the star images from the James Webb Space Telescope are due to the diffraction caused by the hexagonal shape of the mirror sections and the struts holding the secondary mirror.
