But, there are things that,despite looking really hard,we still can't quite see.For example, you can watch a horse galloping,but your eyes can't keep up with its fast-moving hooves enough to figure out whether all four feet are ever off the ground simultaneously.For these types of questions, we need cameras.About 150 years ago,the photographer Eadweard Muybridge used one to solve the galloping horse mystery.Using careful photography,Muybridge proved that at certain points as it gallops,a horse really is flying."Look, ma! No hooves!"
