Mighty Optical Illusions

Mt. Everest From Space

Philip Terry emailed me another NASA picture of the day. This picture of Mt. Everest was taken from the space station, posted on the NASA website. Phillip said: “What’s the deal? I stared at this picture for a half an hour, seeing it inverted. I had to leave and go back to the computer to see it correctly. Then it’s really hard to see it inverted again.” This also happened to me! I first saw it concave, but after seeing it convex, I couldn’t switch again. It’s the same deal we had previously with embedded hand print. Be sure to check other similar illusions, like: Bjorn Borg, dragon illusion and Machu Picchu.
