When things go around really fast, like propellers or spokes on a wheel, why do we see them in a blur? Are our brains not fast enough? Do our eyes constantly take “pictures”, where the exposure time allows for the moving object to move a significant amount?

I read an article about this a few years ago, and my recollection is that you’re correct with this part: “Do our eyes constantly take “picturesâ€?, where the exposure time allows for the moving object to move a significant amount?”
