Problem Statement

Let the point B B lie on the circle S1 S_1 and let the point A A , other than the point B B , lie on the tangent to the circle S1 S_1 passing through the point B B . Let a point C C be chosen outside the circle S1 S_1 , so that the segment AC AC intersects S1 S_1 at two different points. Let the circle S2 S_2 touch the line AC AC at the point C C and the circle S1 S_1 at the point D D , on the opposite side from the point B B with respect to the line AC AC . Prove that the center of the circumcircle of triangle BCD BCD lies on the circumcircle of triangle ABC ABC .
