When three circles, O1, O2, O3, are tangent externally to each other, there are only two circles tangent to the original three circles. This is a special case of the Apollonius problem, and such circles are called the inner and outer Soddy circles. Given the outer Soddy circle S, we can construct the new Apollonian circle I1 that is tangent to S, O2, and O3. By the same method, we can construct new circles I2 tangent to S, O3, and O1, and I3 tangent to S, O1, and O2. These seven tangent circles are a subset of an Apollonian packing of circles.
