The Euler reflection point

    The Euler reflection point of a triangle is known in literature as the common point of the reflections of its Euler line OH into each of its sidelines, where O, and H are the circumcenter and the orthocenter of the triangle, respectively. Known as X_110 in Kimberling’s list of triangle centers [5], the Euler reflection point proved six years ago to be also the focus of the Kiepert hyperbola (see [8]). In this note, we give a new theorem which connects this beautiful point to two triads of circles associated with the triangles of Napoleon.
