Parallax

Try this: your "point of view" makes a difference!Hold up your thumb at arm's length. With one eye closed, line up your thumb with an object in the distance. Now switch eyes so that only the other eye is open. Does your thumb suddenly change position? Move your thumb closer to your nose and try again. Can you see your thumb jump even more?
Astronomers call this effect "parallax." The closer an object, the more it appears to shift against the distant background, when viewed from two different spots.
