A Kepler triangle is a special right triangle with edge lengths in geometric progression. The progression can be written: $1:\sqrt {\varphi }:\varphi,$ or approximately $1:1.272:1.618.$ When an isosceles triangle is formed from two Kepler triangles, reflected across their long sides, it has the maximum possible inradius among all isosceles triangles having legs of a given size. Most of the properties described below were discovered by the famous Russian mathematician Lev Emelianov.
