Brianna - Bremen Universum

Universum was so cool! I really enjoyed the exhibits related to the human body, particularly to human psychology. One exhibit had a metal ring underneath a lens. When I traced the ring while looking through the lens, I saw and felt an oval-shaped ring. In actuality, the ring was circular, and the lens distorted the ring’s shape. But how did it feel like I traced an oval with my finger?
