Black Hole Sun Optical Illusion
October 13, 2007 by Vurdlak
Johan Streulens created this interesting effect. He sent me an animation which was too big to post on the site, but never the less this screen-shot still gives you an interesting experience. This is what Johan wrote: "This is an experiment with illusion. I just move the same picture up and down". If you look at the center of the "black hole", it will appear to expand and maybe you'll get impression it's pulling you in. I sure did! I'm still in Greece, but on Monday I should be back home. Enjoy this article, and please share with your friends.

For an "experiment," it's really awesome! I kind of felt like the black hole was pulling me in, but it appeared more fuzzy as it got larger.
argghhh...its sucking me in...:D
Could you post a link to the actual animation. Its a cool picture but it really doesn't do anything!!
I get no effect on mine :(

Kylee says it hurts her eyes. Put it as wallpaper on the computer.
If you look a bit above centre, it looks more movy-abouty... :P
WOW! Thats really clever it felt like it was pulling me in.

No! No luck with this one Vurdlak. I usually agree with you but not on this one.
Why doesn't he (or you) just put it on YouTube and link from here? Would avoid any fannying about. Then you can link to this blog via YouTube and get more hits.
i love this illusion. the rainbow pattern is cool to. enjoy the rest of your holiday in greece!

Hi and sorry to spoil it for you folks but the illusion only works depending on your computer monitor! It will only work great on LCD's Laptops etc It discards some colours at low and high angles.
Still good mind!
