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.

COOL
Five disappearing was the best I managed, but usually 2-3. Very weird – it seems completely random which ones disappear, and when they do disappear, it’s very hard not to move your eyes to where it was.
THATS GREAT, I SAW THE STARS DISAPPEARING. WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i only saw 6 half stars
If you try hard, you can make them all dissapear! :) It’s just a boring sky then, without any stars..
I have seen this one before, and I was told that the point was that the stars where supposed to just twinkle not permanently disappear.
nice =) everyone disappeared for a second! funny thing is, that earlier today i saw illusion like this for first time, and now i see it again ;)
btw. i saw it at here.
That is so weird! the 3 on the right disappeared first, then came back, then just one on the right disappeared :]
I found that the illusion works best when viewed about 12 inches from the screen. Closer and my eyes had difficulty focussing, further and the stars never come close to disappearing. Hope this helps =0) BTW, all stars came close to disappearing at 12 inches.
I made all of them disappear, funny illusion :)
it’s because the black stars will hide beyond the blue spots surrounding the yellow stars.
this make your brain think the blue spot is moving, and so hiding the yellow star.
It’s like they are being erased.
My friend Kevin said, “that’s trippy.”
I’m sorry to say that this one actually didn’t work for me, no matter what distance away from the screen I sat. I sometimes have problems like this, though; I’m near-sighted in one eye and far-sighted in the other, so sometimes I can’t see things like this. I also can’t see “3D” movies. I’ve got no depth perception issues with the real world, but whatever mechanism these kind of things work on just doesn’t process for me.
lmao
wow
thts soo cool
3/6. Well…half’s not bad, I guess…
i usally saw about 2 or 3 dissapear, but there was this 1 time where i got all 6 to dissapear, but then i moved and they came back
I MADE ALL OF THEM DISAPPEAR !! :D
i had all six stars disappear at the same time!!! WEIRD
WOW!!!!
i stared so long, all 6 stars and the moon dissapeared!
haha thats amazing!
Interesting…
good illusion, works as you keep you eyes totally still while doing it. As a result of doing this the same area on the retina is constantly stimulated or “bleached”. This means that the cells cannot restimulate and so the brain stops seeing them. The moving dots are not necessary for this but will make it happen quicker. It is best view at about 20-30cm due to the angle subtended on the retina!
hope that sheds some “light” on the matter! :D
(im an optometrist so I know about these sorta things before you ask how!)
well i got 1, then 2, then 1 again, then all WOO and then i blinked… lol if you just stare wide eyed at the moon you’ll get them all to go away
I got the stars disappearing two or three at a time but if I let my eyes go into the ‘3d picture mode’ ie slightly crossed eyes, I got two groups of stars and moons joined by two stars in the centre. The black dots were moving behind just the same. If I then stared at this, stars and moons disappeared but not all at once. Very strange.
They all dissapeared, then started reappearing(sp).0:)
you can still move your head and it works….lol awesome illision
That one kinda hurt my eyes :( I couldnt get it to work either. I’ll try again once my eyes get back to normal
i cant get the top star to disapear all the others disapear but that damn top one wont lol thanx for this one :)
haha the guy saying that the moon dissappearded for him/her xD
it’s a really cool illusion
I couldnt get them to disappera completly… only fade, and then promptly had to look away… made me dizzy, and sick.
wow thats amazing, alot of them disappeared
AWESOME!! I GOT ALL 6 TO DISAPPEAR FOR 2 SECONDS!! you just gotta concentrate reeeely hard.
That is so cool, I saw thw stars dissapear at different times. :)

Hmmm… the stars seem to only fade to about half the size. I like.
Took me a minute, but they disappeared!
I love these “mind trick” illusions!
Oh, and congratulations on the comments! I wish MY blog was that popular! Keep up the good work!
Wow I got all but the north and south star to go

oh wow….tht hurt my eyes but i liked it lol…. thts fucked
hey tht was amazing
woah alll of them disappeared when i stared @ them 4 lik 5min it is totaly cool
If you close one eye it is easier to loose site of all the stars.
I manged 3 but not reall a serious attempt.
1 star at first, when I made fullscreen then zoom (F11, then Ctrl+mousewheel) I could make dissapear evrything but half a star.
I felt like when seeing a stereogram.
Thanks.
