Look at this picture of Saturn. Can you see the biggest ring? Are you sure?
NASA Astronaut Scott Kelly just tweeted this photo, that he took from aboard the International Space Station. You can see the Bighorn River, which stretches through the states of Wyoming and Montana... and, wait, why does it look like it’s floating? Read more >>
I'll admit it, it's been nearly a month since I covered Tokyo Flash's Kisai Optical Illusion watch and I still can't read the damn thing (it's a schooner, I'm told). But the Japanese company's latest user-submitted design is actually quite easy to interpret (hint: it isn't Morse code).
These are four perfectly round, concentric circles. Wait no, they aren't. Oh yes, they are. No, they are not. Are they? No. Yes. Would you please stop moving right now? Stupid circles made of stupid squares. [Thanks Karl!]
If you look intensely at these black bars, you will just see black bars. But if you shake your head, you will see an image. See? No. Shake it again. Yes? OK. Have fun until you get a headache.
You know what I hate? Glancing at my watch and actually reading the correct time. Thankfully, Kisai's new watch forces me to read it like I would a 1990's optical illusion poster.
Have you ever wondered what the visuals look like on hallucinogens? This isn't far off (um, I've "read|"). This is not an animated gif, and nothing is actually moving. It's all in your head. Your trippy, trippy head.
This photography illusion, made with a Samsung L100 camera and Photoshop, turns half of a person's face into a picture of their profile too. Are they looking straight at you? Or looking to the side? I can't freaking tell and it's giving me brain sores.
