- ledguitar, on 07/23/2008, -1/+23This sucks. So many beautiful pictures show up on digg and no one has the courtesy to make them wallpaper size. =(
- Kingmishima, on 07/23/2008, -0/+21I remember the first time I saw a rainbow as a child. Must have stared at it for 15 minutes, which is approximately 3 hours in adult time so you know it was serious.
- limes4all, on 07/23/2008, -1/+20what
- RMoore08, on 07/23/2008, -0/+10Why oh why can't I get a higher resolution picure?
- hellahyphy, on 07/23/2008, -0/+10You killed the moment.
- diggystardust, on 07/23/2008, -0/+9I've only seen a rainbow :(
- icepick, on 07/23/2008, -0/+9No green flash?

picture of a Circumhorizontal Arc with a B-17: how the hell??? - Froejam, on 07/23/2008, -2/+11My planet could beat up ur planet...
- tj241, on 07/22/2008, -0/+6Amazing!
- jp12380, on 07/23/2008, -2/+8Perhaps he was being sarcastic/funny?
No he is prob so stupid that is what he really meant.... - esteadee, on 07/22/2008, -1/+7Atmospheric optics are beautiful, physics works.
- mikerad86, on 07/22/2008, -0/+5phenomenal...
- WhoDoneIt, on 07/23/2008, -5/+10Since when was the planet just North America? And as far as I know, even "native americans" immigrated to North America through the Bering Land mass also known as Beringia many thousand of years ago.
There is no way native North Americans were born here. Not with the skin colouring and physical appearance.
Get off the peace pipe and sweetgrass. - Sererena, on 07/23/2008, -0/+5If you like this kind of stuff, check out this website: http://www.atoptics.co.uk/
It doesn't only show pictures, but diagrams and explanations of atmopheric optics. It's great!
Raimbows~! - TommyTSquared, on 07/23/2008, -1/+5When I was younger I remember seeing a spiral rainbow on the way home from a family vacation. At the time my father posted on some random internet site and to this day I still attempt to look for information on them but to no avail...
- gitrplaya4u, on 07/23/2008, -1/+5Guys, Iran's got us again.

- happystatic, on 07/23/2008, -0/+3why do they do that?
- twigboy, on 07/23/2008, -0/+3pirates of the carribean!
- riskybeats, on 07/23/2008, -0/+3Man, I was hiking once and over the lake was one single cloud, and it was coloured all the colours of the rainbow. It was so pretty. Thats pretty much the extent of my incredible light phenomena.
- M724, on 07/23/2008, -0/+2I wish I could see all of those personally in my lifetime.
- inactive, on 07/23/2008, -0/+2it's a wormhole!
- theexitwound, on 07/23/2008, -0/+2All rainbows are in fact double. The second, fainter, bow is not always visible and always appears inverted to the first.
- gitrplaya4u, on 07/23/2008, -0/+2i see what you did there
- connerdowney, on 07/23/2008, -0/+2If you're going to take them from flickr, at the least link to the pictures (which might be in large size) instead of just the user. I'm not sure if the way they embed the pictures does that, but it'd be worth the effort.
- awtripp, on 07/23/2008, -0/+2hahaha.... i saw the -21 (and counting) but in no way was I prepared for what I was about to read.
- twigboy, on 07/23/2008, -0/+2there was a decent amount of scrolling to justify the 4 pages
- danyostar, on 07/23/2008, -3/+5No you do not win.
Your planet sucks. - stabbingkittens, on 07/23/2008, -0/+2Wow, +1
- ancientdinko, on 07/23/2008, -0/+2great pics!
- hiPpymIck, on 07/23/2008, -1/+3and you dont have any
incredible light phenomena - jefu, on 07/23/2008, -0/+2Is there a Spokane in Idaho? There is one in Washington (near Idaho) but google maps can't find one in Idaho.
- DigitAl56K, on 07/23/2008, -0/+1I also don't like people who put a tiny amount of content per page, but that is not what has happened here. Some of these pages have 10 pictures on them.
Just because content isn't all on one page doesn't mean you should automatically curse people out. These guys have done a nice job of pulling some very cool photos together and spent the time to add quality descriptions, and all you come back with is a cheap "F.U." comment?
Dugg down. - inactive, on 07/24/2008, -0/+1PRAAAAAAAISE JEBUS! rofl...
- lolwutpear, on 07/23/2008, -1/+2you've never seen contrails?
- tehknotte, on 07/23/2008, -0/+1not funny
- anaxa, on 07/23/2008, -0/+1Surprised to not see pics of double rainbows, etc...I guess they are too common?
- hiPpymIck, on 07/23/2008, -0/+1id swear i saw a triple rainbow
two separate rainbows plus
the inner one had a very narrow third
right next to it but only the same width
as a single color of the big ones
each was more intense than the next - stabbingkittens, on 07/23/2008, -0/+1Wallpaper anyone?
- mserebreny, on 07/23/2008, -2/+3it's sights like these that can reaffirm ones belief in god
- Barney255, on 07/23/2008, -0/+1Ahhh! My Eyes,
Rocket Trails, So Bright... - Barney255, on 07/23/2008, -0/+1I Think They Come Up On The Front Page Alot...
It's Magnificent - curlybracket, on 07/23/2008, -0/+1That's actually very similar to a common paradox that uses an inelastic hose a million miles long filled with water (also inelastic). Raising or lowering one end or the other should cause an instant reaction on the other side, but nobody has developed an inelastic hose 4x the distance to the moon yet, so it can't really be tested.
- theexitwound, on 07/23/2008, -0/+1Anyone else catch "Light Fantastic" on The Science Channel this weekend? Fascinating how the understanding of light physics came to be.
- TheMightyDane, on 07/23/2008, -0/+1heyheyhey - It's my planet too..
- JPong01, on 07/23/2008, -0/+1My only problem with the article is that I don't consider contrails and rocket trails to be light related. Sure it takes light to see them, but that is as far as it goes.
- Seth024, on 07/23/2008, -0/+1A second rainbow is visible because the light is reflected inside the water droplets 1 extra time. This is also why the second rainbow has it's colors reversed (red on the inside).
Secondary and tertiary rainbows are rarely visible because very little light is reflected so many times. Most light is refracted back into the air after 1 or 2 reflections.
Up to 30 rainbows have been observed in laboratories though. -
