What is a Hypocycloid?

In geometry, a Hypocycloid is a special plane curve generated by the trace of a fixed point on a small circle that rolls within a larger circle. As the radius of the larger circle is increased, the Hypocycloid becomes more like the cycloid created by rolling a circle on a line.
Any Hypocycloid with an integral value of k, and thus k cusps, can move snugly inside another Hypocycloid with k+1 cusps, such that the points of the smaller Hypocycloid will always be in contact with the larger. This motion looks like 'rolling', though it is not technically rolling in the sense of classical mechanics, since it involves slipping.
