Wow, last time i saw such a cool looking rainbow i was 5
You can see it close up in Strassen
I’ve seen 10 rainbows driving home this evening. 2 double ones and 6 regular
Stunning
That’s impossible because it was in Echternach, I drove all the way to the end of the rainbow!
Kudos on capturing a perfect rainbow.
Fun fact:
> A secondary rainbow, at a greater angle than the primary rainbow, is often visible. The term double rainbow is used when both the primary and secondary rainbows are visible. In theory, all rainbows are double rainbows, but since the secondary bow is always fainter than the primary, it may be too weak to spot in practice.
> Secondary rainbows are caused by a double reflection of sunlight inside the water droplets.
What’s almost never mentioned but also part of the physical reality of every rainbow is that the inside of the primary rainbow is lighter than its outside. Clearly visible here.
(The physical/mathematical aspects of a rainbow are quite interesting. E.g. ‘The Rainbow’ by Davies et. al. in europhysicsnews)
