Miquel Pentagram, Dynamic Geometry

Requires Java 1.3 or higher and Java enable browser
Take a pentagram ABCDE forming a convex pentagon FGHIJ and triangles AFJ, BGF, CHG, DIH, and EJI. Construct the circumcircles of triangles AFJ, BGF, CHG, DIH, and EJI. Then the five new points, K,L,M,N,P resulting from the intersection of two consecutive circumferences are concyclic (lie on the same circumference).
