The Same Color Illusion

NASA APOD
COSMIC MESSAGE

This image illustrates the 'same color illusion,' where squares A and B appear different but are actually the same color. It highlights how human perception can be ambiguous, even for seemingly direct observations like color. Similar illusions exist in astronomy, such as the apparent size of the Moon near the horizon. Automated measuring devices help overcome such perceptual biases.
