Whoa! Not only did I miss the second hidden face in our previous illusion, but was shocked today when I saw how many of you made a comment to point it out to me. As of this moment “Undershirt Illusion” has passed 300 comments, and all of this in less than 24 hours. By the way, thank you for showing me the other masculine face I missed. Neither me, nor my little brother managed to spot it at first. For today we have something different. The little animation below pictures a moon and 6 stars surrounding it, somewhere in a midnight hour. There is also a dotted circular layer moving in the background. If you manage to stay perfectly still, and concentrate your eyes on the moon (not moving your head), you’ll experience the disappearance of the yellowish stars. How many of them did you make disappear? I just remembered (after finishing this article), that we had a very simmilar illusion before.

They all disappeared!
But it is hard not to move your eyes to the disapperng ones.
very cool.. i made all six stars disappear eventually, but i really really had to focus!
wow for a fraction of a second all of them my eyes hurt a lil lol
I notice that the bigger the picture is, the more affective the animation gets…
Try this when you are laying out under the stars. Pick a star and stare at it. Soon the rest will all disappear. Discovered this when I was a child – thought I was going blind. It is actually the process of physiological nystagmus (tiny eye tremors) that prevents our vision from going blank (adapting) on a regular basis. Good thing for rush hour traffic.
Very nice, its interesting how our mind and vision work together.
omg that was realy kool i didnt think it was gunna work, but i did
can someone make this with the president instead of stars
If you stare at the moving dots instead of the moon, you get a completely different illusion
Nice! They all disappear for me ^^
When I do it I feel like the stars are blinking, they appear and then disappear!
the dots go slower when the stars disappear :]
I got all 6 fade away
i managed to make them all dissapear aftr a gud 30 mins
i got them all to disappear eventually but i made the moon disappear once too
Actually, the stars disappear by opponent process theory. The eye collects the different light colors however, as the cells that alert the brain that the color yellow is apparent, the cells slowly stop firing from being overworked. The afterimage then, is a blue background. That’s why the stars disappear. Todd’s comment about nystagmus and why the eyes will not adapt is true but then the yellow stars would never disappear because the stimuli would continually be collected.
I managed to get all of them to disappear, took a couple tries, but i got it.
I only manage to make 3 of them disappeared =/
if u stare at the stars the moon dissapears
I couldn’t get any of them to disappear but I did manage to get the star to seperate from the black dots like a magic eye picture. The black dots looked as though they were at the bottom of a can, while the stars and moon were on a plain with the lid…
for a brief moment, they all dissapeared =)
they all disapred to me! :D cool
thats creapy they disapeir lioke gohests
I made to disappear all the stars this is so interesting and WOW. Great post.
Hello,
And, again, no matter how long I look at the picture (the moon, without moving my head), no star is disapearing. Do I really hav a eye problem ?
