fack. i forgot the details.

something to do with some sort of rod cells that is used for night vision is most prevalent in the outer edge of your eyeballs.

It does have to do with rods and cones. Cones are good for high light and color, while rods are good for low light and motion. Also rods are in greyscale. Cones are mostly concentrated around the center part of the eye and around the fovea. The rods are mostly located around the outside of your cones, therefore your peripheral vision is made possible by your rods.

I thought that was common knowledge.
