Actually, Bill, that's not exactly true. There are interesting experiments
that show vision is very subjective in what we see; not illusions per se,
but that our visual system actively filters out things that we do not "need"
to see.

As per sunset, sunrise, and the moon over the horizon - how magic the
illusion that they appear larger than they actually are!
