Rotating Dot Whirlpool
Wow! Try staring at this for more than 5 seconds without going crazy. Then try following it round! Curves constantly die out and then re-evolve as part of another curve. Try not to throw up ;-)
The Eclipse of Mars - See a new colour you've never seen before!!!
Stare at the white dot in the centre of the red circle. The longer - the better (two minutes and you'll get a much stronger effect). Always try to keep focused on the white dot...it'll be worth it. Soon after staring, you'll start to see a thin rim of light around the edge. Don't stop staring yet! Wait another minute - keeping your head perfectly still. Once you've done this, slowly move your head backwards, making sure to keep your eyes focused on the dot at all times. The circle's rim will glow brilliantly with true Cyan! Keep on moving your head slowly backwards, and it'll glow very hot!
(The blue/cyan colour chart to the right isn't part of the illusion, but there to demonstrate that the ultra cyan you have just seen is not in the monitor's color palette! It should be, but isn't.)
