Mt. Everest From Space

38 comments

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.

    1)I don't understand, are we supposed to find the bigfoot figure in this picture?

    2)Do you think they took the picture at night and used flash?

    3)this mountain doesn't look so big, I don't understand why its so hard to climb, then maybe thats also an illusion.

    Take care, adam

    Its still sticking out for me! All well, guess I just stink at this. I found that if I cross my eyes a little, the pic becomes a little sharper looking.

  20. Anonymous Anonymous 

    I don't get it. I can only see it as the way it was meant to be, convex.

  21. Anonymous Anonymous 

    I get it, after staring at it for 10 min. My eyes started to glitch. It freaked me out. Its not the best illusion though.

    that's a really good one, you just have to change the way you think of it.

    If you don't see the mountains, try tilting your head to the left while looking at the picture - it may just pop out at you.

    1) it's so hard to climb because it's at a huge altitude and it's hard to do anything
    2) you see bigfoot?
    3)they could never use a flash big enough to see that clearly without blinding everybody there

    I don't get it. What is it suppose to be? I don't even know what I'm suppose to be looking for, so how can I find it? I'm not sure as heck going to spend 10-30min just looking at an image.

    lol, wow that took me a while to figure that out !
    At first I thought the top left of the picture was the closest to the camera, like a rock face, but now I see the landscape view, where the closest bit to the camera is actually in the bottom right of the photo

    Someone tell me where bigfoot is!!!! I wanna see him. I've been looking and looking, but I don't see anything.....:^(

    There's no secret.
    Its just: shades not showing to a used direction.
    If you rotate the picture about 45° clockwise, or turn your head to the left, so that the river/street leads straight toward you, then you see immedeatly the normal mountains.
