Saw an interesting rainbow yesterday - as well as the usual bow, there was the slightly less usual second bow, opposite colours and higher up, but there were even further bows superimposed on the original, giving it a look of a really bright melange of reds and oranges, with purpleness underneath. Pity I had no camera!

On a less good note, I was awoken at just after four this morning by a loud, penetrating and rather unsettling scream from a neighbouring flat! I heard nothing else apart from the from the front door to the block closing a wee while later, but I certainly took a while to get back to sleep. Hmmm.

*yawn*

Nooooo - the first bow, a given. The second bow, you can't see, and is directly behind your line of sight, so doesn't 'exist' as such, but it's there due to, y'know, refraction and the likes. The third bow is the one above the first where the colours go the 'wrong way round'. The fourth would be behind you again, the fifth in front of you, etc etc. You never see the even-numbered bows, because if you turn around you're breaking the line of sight etc anyway.

Or something. *considers getting out Applied Maths 1b notes to check*

Yes I know! That's why I was surprised to see uninverted bows superimposed on the first one!!!
