Reconstruction of the 2024 Badbury Rings formation | ||
| 1. |
| Draw a circle. Draw the horizontal and vertical centerlines. |
| 2. |
| Construct the inscribed pentagon (regular 5-sided polygon) of circle 1, pointing up. |
| 3. |
| Construct the inscribed circle of pentagon 2. |
| 4. |
| Construct the "two-points" circle (defined by the two end-points of a centerline) between the upper intersections of circles 1 and 3 with the vertical centerline. |
| 5. |
| Construct a circle concentric to circle 1, passing through the center of circle 4. |
| 6. |
| Copy circle 5 two times, to the intersections of circles 4 and 5. |
| 7. |
| Repeat step 6 four more times, with respect to the other angular points of pentagon 2, as shown. |
| 8. |
| Circles 1, 3, 5, 6, and 7, are used for the final reconstruction. |
| 9. |
| Remove all parts not visible within the formation itself. |
| 10. |
| Colour all areas corresponding to standing... |
