Exploring further into celestial realms brings us face-to-face with Neptune's enigmatic beauty through Voyager 2's image.

Back on Earth, RAF Chicksands boasts a large circular aerial—an emblematic structure representing communication and connectivity among nations during critical times.

Delving into history reveals symbols of resistance like Sylvia Pankhurst's Suffragette W. S. P. U Badge—a small yet powerful circular token embodying women's fight for equality and justice. The accompanying ribbon serves as a reminder of their unwavering determination throughout this struggle. Artistic expressions also find solace in circles.
