2023 Broad Hinton formation

Reconstruction of the 2023 Broad Hinton formation | ||
| 1. |
| Draw a circle. Draw and extend the horizontal and vertical centerlines. |
| 2. |
| Construct the inscribed hexagon (6-sided polygon) of circle 1, pointing to the right. |
| 3. |
| Construct a circle centered at the righthand angular point of hexagon 2, passing through the center of circle 1. |
| 4. |
| Construct the inscribed hexagon of circle 1, pointing up. |
| 5. |
| Construct a circle centered at the lower righthand angular point of hexagon 4, passing through the center of circle 1. |
| 6. |
| Construct a circle centered at the upper righthand angular point of hexagon 4, passing through the righthand angular point of hexagon 2. |
| 7. |
| Construct the circumscribed hexagon of circle 1, pointing up. |
| 8. |
| Construct a circle concentric to circle 1, passing through the intersection of circle 5 and the righthand side of hexagon 7. |
| 9. |
| Construct a circle centered at the intersection of the upper righthand sides of hexagons 2 and 4, tangent to circle 5 at the near side. |
| 10. |
| Copy circle 9 to the center of circle 1. |
| 11. |
| Construct a circle concentric to circle 1, tangent to circle 9 at the upper righthand side. |
| 12. |
| Construct a circle concentric to circle 9, tangent to circle 1 at the near side. |
| 13. |
| Copy circle 12 to the center of circle 1. |
| 14. |
| Construct a circle concentric to circle 9, tangent to circle 8 at the near side. |
| 15. |
| Copy circle 14 to the center of circle 1. |
| 16. |
| Remove all redundant parts from circles 3, 5, 6, and 15, such that... |
| 17. |
| ...this pattern remains. |
| 18. |
| Repeat all necessary steps to copy and rotate pattern 17 five times, with respect to the other angular points of hexagon 2. |
| 19. |
| Circles 1, 8, 10, 11, and 13, and patterns 17, and 18, together, make up the final reconstruction. |
| 20. |
| Colour all areas corresponding to standing... |
| 21. |
| ...or to flattened crop, and finish the reconstruction of the 2023 Broad Hinton formation. |
| 22. |
| The final result, matched with the aerial image. |
