The images of optical illusion are booming on social networks, with artists specializing in these illustrations being very successful and challenging their followers to solve challenges. Through them, it is possible to realize how treacherous our brain can be and deceive us, in addition to learning even some traits about our personality. However, the photo that we brought in this article was not taken by any specialist, but by a satellite in Mars. Were you curious? Check it out below.

The photo, taken by NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter, was shared on July 11 by a team of researchers at the University of Arizona. The landscape, which is part of a region known as Ceraunius Fossae, has raised some discussions among scientists. That's because, at first glance, it appears to contain a small mountain or very elongated elevation.
However, with the help of the angle and direction of the light, this is just our brain fooling us. In fact, it is a pit or a hole in the terrain of the red planet. When the image reached social networks, you can already imagine that it also raised a discussion among Internet users, right? However, this really is a “hole”, but it needs a lot of effort to be seen.
The satellite manages to capture the surface of the planet well, but the projected shadows can make some photos confusing. In this case, it ends up generating a high relief effect. However, just turn the image around and you will notice that the “well” is reoriented and looks like what it should initially look like.
According to NASA, this observation is essential to understand if there are connections between these holes. According to the agency, it appears to be 1.2 kilometers long, but it is difficult to define how long it has existed. Even further south, it is possible to notice another “hole” of collapse, but that does not cause the same optical illusion effect.
