 Point Symmetry

image
Point Symmetry is when every part has a matching part that is ...

... the same distance from the central point ...
... but in the opposite direction.

It looks the same when viewed from opposite directions, such as left vs right, or if turned upside down.

It is sometimes called Origin Symmetry.
