its a matter of knowing the right 3d perespective

oh man if you had a perception you cant deny which wildly contradicts the aceepted reality what would you think

Well it's Andromeda and a spiral galaxy. Obviously the lower half is nearest the centre, the upper half is farther away. That's why some of the stars above are obscured by the centre as they are behind it.

well but without perceiving depth you cant be really sure

maybe the galaxy has some deformated rings :)

though id say the position its as it looks

Remember, the enemy's gate is down.

It's the same as asking "The southpole is actually magnetic north?"

It all defers from the viewpoint. The earth is round, you know?!:cool:

On top of it. The widest part of the 'disc edge' is nearest, the edge that is farthest away will appear smaller.

Who cares?

It's all relative.

the odd thing is that is extreamly rare for me perceive depth in real life

but i do quite often on tv and most time on youtube

seems real life stereo is very wide, but on screen the smaller the window the softer the stereo

the first thing ill do when i recover my depth perception is go to the mountains to wacth the stars :)

probably ill have to take my car but with a bit of like i might be able to se the stars over the clouds :)

edit:

here one more difficult

can you tell whats close and far?
