The tests of optical illusion are great for working on your observation skills. From them your brain develops skills for logical reasoning.

The image, at first, gives the impression that it was taken through an orbiting satellite and shows Earth's space. However, while it makes you think of cosmos or Universal Pictures' opening credits, the photo is of something else entirely.
The image caught the attention of Flat Earthers who, for a moment, claimed that the Earth's curve is going the wrong way. After leaving hundreds of people extremely confused, see the photo for yourself and draw your own conclusions.
After all, what is the image really?
After being analyzed in more detail, it is concluded that the image is nothing more than the photo of the horizon, but it has been rotated. When seen the right way, you can see that there are several buildings in the city with low light.
The whole illusion made of the image was possible due to the cirrus clouds and the city lights that help to overshadow what the photo shows. The lights of buildings, for example, refer to stars.
What was the netizens' opinion?
One Twitter user said he had to turn his phone over to see the city skyline. This example makes it clear that optical illusions happen when the brain tries to understand the challenge quickly.
It is common to reach an immediate conclusion without even having evaluated, in detail, the presented image. And so there is a need to look again to see what is actually conveyed in the photo.
