A rainbow is the reflected prism of sunlight in rainfall. The rainbow is--believe it or not--actually a full circle, but you can only see the upper half from the ground. If you could connect the rainbow's ends to complete the circle, the dead center of the circle is known as the "antisolar spot": the center of the Earth's shadow! The antisolar spot can be "seen" during lunar eclipses. That's one of my favorite factoids about rainbows.

Double rainbow along the RFD of a severe storm in Parmer Cty, TX, on June 1, 2007. I will openly admit that this was Photoshopped (tm) to accent the contrasts and colors. The content has not been altered, however. But I admit the greens are a bit eye-popping, but I just couldn't find another way to get this as close to what my retina saw than this. Spectacular.
