Bull's eye

Sports[edit | edit source]
In sports like archery, darts, and shooting, the bull's eye refers to the center of the target. Hitting the bull's eye is often the highest scoring area and is considered a mark of precision and skill. In cricket, a bull's eye can refer to a direct hit on the stumps from a fielder.
Medicine[edit | edit source]
In medicine, a bull's eye or target lesion is a type of rash that is characteristic of certain conditions such as Lyme disease. It is named for its distinctive appearance, which resembles a target or bull's eye.
Geology[edit | edit source]
In geology, a bull's eye structure can refer to a type of geological formation that has concentric rings, similar to a target. These structures can be formed by various geological processes, including the impact of a meteorite.
Meteorology[edit | edit source]
In meteorology, a bull's eye is often used to describe a region of a weather system where the most severe conditions are found. For example, in a hurricane, the bull's eye would be the area around the eye where the strongest winds and heaviest rainfall are located.
