The Same Color Illusion

NASA APOD
COSMIC MESSAGE

This image presents an optical illusion where squares A and B appear to be different colors, but are actually identical. Such illusions highlight how human perception can be ambiguous, even for seemingly direct observations like color. Similar perceptual biases can affect how we interpret astronomical phenomena, like the apparent size of the Moon near the horizon.
