The Same Color Illusion
Explanation: Are square A and B the same color? They are! To verify this, either run your cursor over the image or click

to see them connected. The
above illusion
, called the
same color illusion
, illustrates that purely human observations in science may be
ambiguous
or inaccurate. Even such a seemingly direct
perception
as relative color. Similar
illusions
exist on the
sky
, such as the
size of the Moon near the horizon
, or the
apparent shapes of astronomical objects
. The advent of automated, reproducible, measuring devices such as
CCDs
have made science in general and astronomy in particular less prone to, but not free of,
human-biased
illusions
.
