2023 Norton Plantation formation
|
Reconstruction of the 2023 Norton Plantation 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 the "two-points" circle (defined by the two end-points of a centerline) between the righthand intersections of circle 1 and hexagon 2 with the horizontal centerline. |
| 4. |
| Construct a circle concentric to circle 1, passing through the center of circle 3. |
| 5. |
| Construct the "two-points" circle between the center of circle 3 and its righthand intersection with the horizontal centerline. |
| 6. |
| Construct a circle concentric to circle 1, passing through the center of circle 5. |
| 7. |
| Construct the inscribed hexagon of circle 6, pointing up. |
| 8. |
| Copy circles 1 and 4, together, six times, to the angular points of hexagon 7. |
| 9. |
| Construct a circle concentric to circle 1, passing through the outer mutual intersections of circles 8. |
| 10. |
| Construct the inscribed hexagon of circle 9, pointing to the right. |
| 11. |
| Copy circles 1 and 4, together, six times, to the angular points of hexagon 10. |
| 12. |
| Construct the circumscribed circle of circles 8. |
| 13. |
| Construct the inscribed hexagon of circle 12, pointing up. |
| 14. |
| Copy circles 1 and 4, together, six times, to the angular points of hexagon 13. |
| 15. |
| Circles 1, 4, 8, 11, and 14, are used for the final reconstruction. |
| 16. |
| Remove all parts not visible within the formation itself. |
| 17. |
| Colour all areas corresponding to standing... |
| 18. |
| ...or to flattened crop, and finish the reconstruction of the 2023 Norton Plantation formation. |
| 19. |
| The final result, matched with the aerial image. |
