2015 Uffcott formation
|
Reconstruction of the 2015 Uffcott formation | ||
| 1. |
| Draw a circle. Draw and extend the horizontal and vertical centerlines. |
| 2. |
| Construct the inscribed hexagon (regular 6-sided polygon) of circle 1, pointing up. |
| 3. |
| Construct a circle centered at the top of hexagon 2, passing through its lower angular point. |
| 4. |
| Copy circle 3 five times, to the other angular points of hexagon 2. |
| 5. |
| Draw the connecting line between the righthand intersection of circle 1 and the horizontal centerline and the rightmost intersection of circles 4. Divide this line into five equal parts. |
| 6. |
| Construct four circles concentric to circle 1, passing through the division nodes 5. |
| 7. |
| Construct a circle concentric to circle 1, passing through the innermost intersections of circles 4. |
| 8. |
| Construct a circle concentric to circle 3, tangent to circle 7 at the lower side. |
| 9. |
| Copy circle 8 five times, to the centers of circles 4. |
| 10. |
| Construct two inscribed equilateral triangles of outermost circle 6, one pointing to the left, one to the right. |
| 11. |
| Construct a circle passing through the leftmost angular point of triangles 10, and passing through the upper and lower intersections of these triangles. |
| 12. |
| Construct a circle concentric to circle 1, tangent to circle 11 at the righthand side. |
| 13. |
| Circles 1, 3, 4, 6, 8, 9, and 12, are used for the final reconstruction. |
| 14. |
| Remove all parts not visible within the formation itself. |
| 15. |
| Colour all areas corresponding to standing... |
| 16. |
| ...or to flattened crop, and finish the reconstruction of the 2015 Uffcott formation. |
| 31. |
| The final result, matched with the aerial image. |
