And commonly known as a truncated icosahedron.It is a mix of Hexagonal and Penatagonal shapes, more commonly seen as a C60 (carbon60) or Bucky-Ball.
Icosahedra and dodecahedra are strongly related, so that's why a soccer ball looks a bit dodecahedral (having, as it does, 12 pentagons). In fact, if you keep on truncating a icosahedron's corners more and more deeply, you end up with a dodecahedron. Duality is very cool!
