2026 Milk Hill formation
|
Reconstruction of the 2026 Milk Hill formation | ||
| 1. |
| Draw a circle. Draw and extend the horizontal and vertical centerlines. |
| 2. |
| Construct the inscribed equilateral triangle of circle 1, pointing down. |
| 3. |
| Construct the inscribed regular 15-sided polygon of circle 1, pointing up. |
| 4. |
| Construct a circle centered at the lower angular point of triangle 2, passing through the nearest angular point of polygon 3 to the right. |
| 5. |
| Copy circle 4 to the center of circle 1. |
| 6. |
| Copy circle 4 two times, to the other angular points of triangle 2. |
| 7. |
| Construct the "two-points" circle (defined by the two end-points of a centerline) between the center of circle 5 and its lower intersection with the vertical centerline. |
| 8. |
| Copy circle 7 to the center of circle 4. |
| 9. |
| Copy circle 7 two times, to the other angular points of triangle 2. |
| 10. |
| Construct the inscribed equilateral triangle of the inscribed circle of triangle 2, pointing up. |
| 11. |
| Construct the inscribed equilateral triangle of the inscribed circle of triangle 10, pointing down. |
| 12. |
| Construct a circle concentric to circle 1, passing through the intersection of the righthand side of triangle 11 and the horizontal centerline. |
| 13. |
| Copy circle 12 to the center of circle 4. |
| 14. |
| Copy circle 12 two times, to the other angular points of triangle 2. |
| 15. |
| Construct the "two-points" circle between the upper intersections of circles 4 and 8 with the vertical centerline. |
| 16. |
| Copy circle 15 to the center of circle 4. |
| 17. |
| Construct a circle concentric to circle 1, tangent to circle 16 at the lower side. |
| 18. |
| Construct the "two-points" circle between the lower intersections of circle 5 and the lefthand and righthand sides of triangle 11. |
| 19. |
| Copy circle 18 four times, to the center of circle 1, and to the three angular points of triangle 2. |
| 20. |
| Construct three pairs of parallel lines, all tangent to the central circle 19 at both sides, and tangent to the three other circles 19 at both sides, as shown. |
| 21. |
| Circles 1, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 13, 14, and 17, and lines 20, are used for the final reconstruction. |
| 22. |
| Remove all parts not visible within the formation itself. |
| 23. |
| Colour all areas corresponding to standing... |
| 24. |
| ...or to flattened crop, and finish the reconstruction of the 2026 Milk Hill formation. |
| 25. |
| The final result, matched with two aerial images. |
