AN OPTICAL illusion has been bending people’s minds on the internet as simple circles and lines make the image appear to move.
When you view this image, you might be surprised to realize that it’s a still picture — though it appears to be moving on its own.
On the picture’s green background, rows of blue circles are surrounded by white and black semi-circles that make the pattern appear seamless.
The post isn’t a video or a GIF, meaning everything should appear to be still.
Yet, the colorful vector still seems to ripple as the illusion tricks your eyes with colors and the specific pattern.
“When you take a peek at this optical illusion, you may see a ripple go through the image,” Parade says.
“This is because of the seamless pattern of circles.”
Optical illusions oftentimes use shapes, space, position, color contrasts, and lines to fool people’s minds into thinking images are moving when they are not.
Last week, another bizarre puzzle that has two animals lurking was shared on social media.
Another optical illusion recently went viral after an image of a ball appeared to shake despite being completely still.
Meanwhile, a headache-inducing album cover had people rubbing their eyes and even revealed a hidden message.
And another optical illusion left online users confused after flowers appeared to move in a stationary image.
