+Returns a geodesic sphere triangulation
+
+# Description
+
+This function returns a geodesic hemispherephere triangulation based on the number of
+refinement iterations `n` and the radius `r`. Geodesic spheres (aka Buckminster-Fuller
+ spheres) are triangulations of a sphere that have near uniform edge lenghts. 
+The algorithm starts with a regular icosahedron that is adjusted to generate a half icosahedron. 
+Next this icosahedron is refined  `n` times, while nodes are pushed to a sphere surface with radius `r` at each
+iteration.
