Nine Point Conic and generalization of Euler Line

If AD, BE and FG are 3 cevians concurrent at F, then a conic drawn through any 5 of the 3 feet of the cevians, the 3 midpoints of AF, BF and CF, and the 3 midpoints of the sides of ABC, passes through the remaining 4 points. In addition, the center of the conic N, the centroid O of ABC and F are collinear, and FN = 3NO. (See measurement 'o' = FN/NO at the bottom and to the left).

Sorry, the GeoGebra Applet could not be started. Please make sure that Java 1.4.2 (or later) is installed and activated. (click here to install Java now)

Drag points A, B, C, D or E. Also drag D onto the extension of BC. What do you notice?
