Original – Revolving skew lines form a three dimensional hyperboloidal fibration.
Reason
Good illustration of skew lines. As described in the article, this depiction illustrates the formation of hyperboloids via the revolution of skew lines. I think a good rule of thumb for math related FPs is "being eye-catching to the point where users will want to read its accompanying article", as suggested on top of this page. This is a good example of it.
