Reconstruction of the 2024 Lion's Gate Phase 2 formation | ||
| 44. |
| After three weeks (!), the Lion's Gate formation of 8-08-2024 got a new look, phase 2. Here is the reconstruction of this second phase, continuing that of the first phase. Construct a circle centered at the righthand intersection of circles 22 and 23, tangent to circle 21 at the righthand side. |
| 45. |
| Copy circle 44 to the center of circle 30. |
| 46. |
| Construct a "two-points circle" through the intersection of circles 8 and 30, tangent to circle 45 at the upper righthand side. |
| 47. |
| Copy circle 46 to the center of circle 30. |
| 48. |
| Construct two circles concentric to circle 7, tangent to circles 45 and 47 respectively at the upper righthand sides. |
| 49. |
| Construct two circles concentric to circle 7, tangent to circles 45 and 47 at the lower lefthand sides. |
| 50. |
| Construct two circles concentric to circle 24, tangent to circles 49 at the upper righthand sides. |
| 51. |
| Construct two circles concentric to circle 23, tangent to circles 50 at the upper lefthand sides. |
| 52. |
| Construct two circles concentric to circle 21, tangent to circles 51 at the lower righthand sides. |
| 53. |
| Construct two circles concentric to circle 18, tangent to circles 52 at the lower righthand sides. |
| 54. |
| Construct two circles centered at the upper intersection of circles 12 and 21, tangent to circles 52 at the upper lefthand sides. |
| 55. |
| Construct a circle concentric to circle 22, tangent to the inner circle 54 at the lower side. |
| 56. |
| Copy circles 54 to the righthand intersection of circles 12 and 34. |
| 57. |
| Construct two circles concentric to circle 34, tangent to circles 56 at the upper righthand sides. |
| 58. |
| Copy circles 54 to the righthand intersection of circle 16 and the horizontal centerline. |
| 59. |
| Construct two circles concentric to circle 16, tangent to circles 58 at the righthand sides. |
| 60. |
| Remove all redundent parts from circles 45, 47, 48, 49, 50, 51, 52, 53, 55, 57, and 59,... |
| 61. |
| ...such that this pattern remains. |
| 62. |
| Copy and rotate pattern 61 five times, from the righthand angular point of hexagon 2, with respect to the other angular points, as shown. |
| 63. |
| Construct a circle centered at the righthand angular point of hexagon 2, tangent to circle 7 at the righthand side. |
| 64. |
| Construct a circle concentric to circle 7, passing through the center of circle 63. |
| 65. |
| Copy circle 24 to the center of circle 63. |
| 66. |
| Copy circle 30 to the lower intersection of circles 64 and 65. |
| 67. |
| Copy circle 24 to the center of circle 66. |
| 68. |
| Copy circle 44 to the lower intersection of circles 64 and 67, and move this circle (copy and delete original) to its own upper intersection with circle 64. |
| 69. |
| Copy and rotate circles 63, 66, and 68, five times, from the righthand angular point of hexagon 2, with respect to the other angular points, as shown. |
| 70. |
| Patterns 38, 39, 61, and 62, and circles 63, 66, 68, and 69, together, make up the final reconstruction. |
| 71. |
| Colour all areas corresponding to standing... |
| 72. |
| ...or to flattened crop, and finish the reconstruction of the 2024 Lion's Gate Phase 2 formation. |
| 73. |
| The final result, matched with the aerial image. |
