A STUNNING optical illusion brings Van Gogh’s Starry Night to life with movement.
Viewers must gaze at the center of the black and white swirls for at least 10 seconds before taking in the Van Gogh masterpiece.

If you look at the center of the black and white spiral for 10 seconds, then in the image you should see the image come to life.
Surprisingly, the eddies in the night sky in the image begin to move and the entire image appears to warp, as if it had a life of its own.
The mind-bending illusion has been around for a while, but was recently re-shared on Twitter, where it has been retweeted over 25,000 times so far.
Many users admitted that their eyes hurt after trying the challenge.
Scary, but cool. Now my eyes hurt. 😝

However, some were under the impression of that illusion.

Experts believe that the false impression of movement is caused by blinks and rapid eye movements, some of which are so small that the viewer doesn’t even realize they are doing them.
Did the image come alive for you?
