The Spaceship and the Sun (Spaceship-and-Sun), emblem of the Galactic Empire in Isaac Asimov's Foundation stories, drawn from the reproducible geometric specification devised by Massimo Baglione: twelve-hour Sun of radius R with Bézier arcs whose coincident control points lie on a circle of radius 3R/4; Spaceship with tips at 5R/4 between hours 2-3, 7-8, 9-10 and Bézier arcs with coincident control points at one third of the distance from the centre to each chord. Unofficial fan design.

Abstract

The Spaceship and the Sun (Spaceship-and-Sun), emblem of the Galactic Empire in Isaac Asimov's Foundation stories, drawn from the reproducible geometric specification devised by Massimo Baglione: twelve-hour Sun of radius R with Bézier arcs whose coincident control points lie on a circle of radius 3R/4; Spaceship with tips at 5R/4 between hours 2-3, 7-8, 9-10 and Bézier arcs with coincident control points at one third of the distance from the centre to each chord. Unofficial fan design.
