Full on! Double rainbow all the way across the sky!

It's so intense, what does it mean

Does this mean something?

Ever seen what happens when the space in-between the rainbows and the ground fill up with more rainbows?

[-] joella 1 points 10 months ago

That sounds like a supernumerary rainbow.

That might technically be what I saw once. All the space on the inside of the rainbows was filled with more rainbows. But instead of looking like half of a enormous lollipop it looked like a huge ampitheatre that was painted in rainbow stripes. That is to say instead of looking like a flat disk like rainbows do, it looked three dimensional, like you could walk into it the way you can walk nto the stage of an ampitheatre. That was the illusion anyway.

Beautiful. Is this one of the Hawaiian islands?

[-] SchmidtGenetics@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

Absolutely not, Calgary, Alberta, Canada. I don’t think you can get much more inland to be honest.

Stunning 🌈🌈

You got a pretty good view of it! Was this after the hailstorm a few days ago? I wasn't able to get a great picture of the double rainbow I saw after that storm.

No, I was taking the dogs out this morning and saw it, so I had to run and find a spot where I could get the majority of it. I’ve never seen one so vivid in real life before.
