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.
