The hyperplanes through the centroids of the (n-2)-dimensional faces of an n-simplex and perpendicular to the respectively opposite 1-dimensional edges have a point in common. As a consequence, we define an analogue of the nine-point circle for any n-simplex.
Keywords: Nine-point circle, Feuerbach circle, Monge point, Euler line, 3(n+1) point sphere, n-simplex, Menelaus theorem, Manheim theorem, Stewart theorem.
