Corner Reflector
(light - mirrors and reflection)

In the Corner Reflector exhibit, an image is held in one place. Three small front-surfaced mirrors are joined at right angles to one another. When visitors look into the corner with one eye closed, the image of their eye will stay in the same place, no matter where they move. When light hits one of the mirrors, it is reflected to another and comes out parallel and very close to the original beam, keeping the image in the same place.
