Neat. We had one of those about a week ago.

What’s interesting is that the color order of Rainbow #1 (the bright one) is regular, but the order of the colors in Rainbow #2 is backwards. Red is on the bottom, rather than the top.

So was the second one really a rainbow, or just a partial reflection of the first? Is that even possible?

Wikipedia has an entire writeup on double rainbows. Thanks Wikipedia!

One day last week when I was driving home, I was driving into a rainbow. It was like the road was a rainbow, or my car was shooting rainbows, it was awesome!
