Odd, circular crater spotted from space was actually ancient — and human-made. See it. ... Historical structures buried over time may be invisible to the naked eye, the researchers said, but can ...
The pupil of the human eye can range in size from 2 mm to over 8 mm to adapt to the environment. The human eye can detect a luminance from 10 −6 cd/m 2, or one millionth (0.000001) of a candela per square meter to 10 8 cd/m 2 or one hundred million (100,000,000) candelas per square meter.
