What is the human eye?

Did you know your eyes are like two incredible, high-tech cameras working all day long? Join Mira and Finn as they explore the absolutely wild world of human vision! Discover how light bounces off objects and zooms right through your pupil (which is actually a tiny empty hole!) to hit over 130 million microscopic light-catchers at the back of your eyeball. You will be shocked to learn that the picture your eye sends to your brain is actually completely upside down! Plus, travel back over a thousand years to meet Ibn al-Haytham, a brilliant scientist who proved how light works while stuck inside under house arrest. We also uncover the spooky secrets of animal vision! Find out why cats have glowing laser eyes in the dark, and how the Great Horned Owl can spot its dinner from three whole football fields away using just the light of a single birthday candle! Tune in to test your brain with our fun trivia quiz. Get ready, because this amazing episode will totally change the way you see the world!
