(Occasionally, these are called entopic phenomena, which is probably a typographical mistake.) In Helmholtz 's words: "Under suitable conditions light falling on the eye ...
Cosmic ray visual phenomena, or light flashes ( LF ), also known as Astronaut's Eye, are spontaneous flashes of light visually perceived by some astronauts outside the magnetosphere of the Earth, such as during the Apollo program. While LF may be the result of actual photons of visible light being sensed by the retina, [1] the LF discussed here ...
The light spectrum is a line on which violet is one end and the other is red, and yet we see hues of purple that connect those two colors. Impossible colors are a combination of cone responses that cannot be naturally produced. For example, medium cones cannot be activated completely on their own; if they were, we would see a 'hyper-green' color.
