I'm sorry, what's so special about this?
It's a series of half-rectangular prisms (basically non-equilateral 3-sided pyramids) sticking out of a surface, folding onto one another. 2 of these sheets == 2 star thingies. Unfold + press together == rectangular cubes.
Big deal? I think not... Slow news day I guess, what with it being New Years Day and all.

In case anybody's interested in making one:

Looks to be an hour long project tops, requiring just starched paper and sellotape.

give the man whatever he wants, i don't want to be banished to the negative zone.
Perhaps the sunken city of R'yleh sports these sorts of cubes.
