double rainbow

Post by aquillae »

hi guys, last Fri. we were treated with a beautiful show of a double rainbow right after work:

The secondary rainbow is pretty dim on this pic, I hope you can see it.

I think the primary is also called a supernumerary rainbow since it contains extra arcs (green and purple). Here's a digitally enhanced (unsharp mask) portion of the pic to show the extra arcs
