  Alexanders Dark Band looks like they pump out some bitchin’ songs.

  At first, the dark band in between seems so counterintuitive, but then your realise rainbows don’t create extra light, so it has to come from somewhere. Alexander’s Dark Band is the empty husk left behind after a rainbow is born.

  That doesn’t explain the gay frogs, at all.

  So I don’t know if I got a picture, but I was at a local beach right at sunset, and we had this moment where, for like just a moment, the entire valley behind us lit up with rainbows. Not a double rainbow, but like 5+ deep ‘double’ rainbows. It was utterly surreal.

  Can somebody explain this image? If you had raindrops in only those four positions, this might make sense, but I think there are more than four static drops and thus angles.

    Light bounces around and exits a raindrop in many different directions. This graphic illustrates the first(brightest) two that hit your eye, but there will be a third, fourth, etc in decreasing brightness.

      Also, the tertiary rainbow is directly in front of the sun, which is hard to see because of, you know, the sun.
