Reconstruction of the 2020 Stanton St. Bernard 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 to the right. |
| 3. |
| Construct the inscribed equilateral triangle of hexagon 2, pointing up. |
| 4. |
| Construct the inscribed equilateral triangle of hexagon 2, pointing down. |
| 5. |
| Draw the six rays of hexagon 2, from the center to the angular points. |
| 6. |
| Construct a circle centered at the lower righthand intersection of triangles 3 and 4, passing through the upper lefthand angular point of hexagon 2. |
| 7. |
| Construct the inscribed hexagon of circle 6, pointing to the right. |
| 8. |
| Draw the connecting line between the lower righthand angular point of triangle 3 and the lower angular point of triangle 4. |
| 9. |
| Construct a circle centered at the intersection of line 8 and the lower righthand ray 5, passing through the center of circle 1. |
| 10. |
| Construct the circumscribed hexagon of circle 9, pointing to the right, and extend the lower righthand side in both directions upto hexagon 7. |
| 11. |
| Draw the connecting line between the center of circle 1 and the lower righthand angular point of triangle 3. |
| 12. |
| Construct a circle centered at the intersection of line 11 and the righthand side of triangle 4, passing through the lower angular point of this triangle. |
| 13. |
| Construct the circumscribed hexagon of circle 12, pointing to the right, and extend the upper righthand side in both directions upto hexagon 7. |
| 14. |
| Remove all parts from hexagon 7, and the extended sides of hexagons 10 and 13, ... |
| 15. |
| ...such that the shown pattern remains. |
| 16. |
| Repeat all the necessary steps to copy pattern 15 five times, with respect to the other sides of hexagon 2. |
| 17. |
| Construct the inscribed hexagon of circle 1, pointing up. |
| 18. |
| Construct a circle centered at the intersection of the righthand side of hexagon 17 and the horizontal centerline, passing through the top of triangle 3. |
| 19. |
| Construct a circle concentric to circle 1, tangent to circle 18 at the righthand side. |
| 20. |
| Circle 19, hexagon 2, triangles 3 and 4, lines 5, and patterns 15 and 16, are used for the final reconstruction. |
| 21. |
| Remove all parts not visible within the formation itself. |
| 22. |
| Colour all areas corresponding to standing... |
| 23. |
| ...or to flattened crop, and finish the reconstruction of the 2020 Stanton St. Bernard formation. |
| 24. |
| The final result, matched with the aerial image. |
