Circular Rainbow
Now I know they say that all rainbows are really a complete circle but we just can't see the whole ring as the earth gets in the way. But the other day I looked up at the sun and saw a complete rainbow around it. Red side closest to the sun, purple side farthest.
I tried to take a photo but was in a huge hurry and obviously couldn't stop it down enough to actually get a decent photo but here are a couple so you get the idea.
I have never seen anything like this before and was trying to work out why we would see this! I rang Mr B who was at work (a good 2 mins away) and he could see it, when I got where I was going (20 mins in almost the other direction) I could still see it. Bizarre.
Let me know what you think of this:

Re: Circular Rainbow
me either. those photos are looking directly up at the sun by the way, and they aren't flare or anything like that, it was an actual rainbow!

Re: Circular Rainbow
Yup a complete circle. I know they say that all rainbows are a complete circle but we just can't see the bit that's below the horizon but I've never soon one with such a small diameter before...
Or since actually. I'd forgotten about this thread
