Approximating circles and osculating circle
The green circle is the osculating circle at the white point. The
light blue (cyan) circle is the circle through the white and the two black
points. When the black points converge to the white one (use the player),
this approximating circle converges to the osculating circle. You may choose
another (white) point using the scroller.
