My Actifit Report Card: July 8 2026 Double Rainbow 🌈

Came across a double rainbow and this pic really does not give it justice but you may notice it faintly. Out of curiousity of this phenonemon, I began reading and learned there is folklore suggesting one is lucky if they are able to see them. This article excerpt describes the science behind these optical illusions:

During a fully double rainbow, you will notice that one rainbow is noticeably brighter than the other. This brighter rainbow is called the primary rainbow. The primary rainbow, as we described above, is the result of light reflecting off of water drops once, then reflecting back out of the drop.

The second rainbow is called, you guessed it, the secondary rainbow. Secondary rainbows appear due to a phenomenon that is similar to the primary rainbow, with one big difference: the light that enters the raindrop and refracts at the surface does not escape after hitting the back of the raindrop. Instead, that light is refracted a second time, creating the secondary rainbow

As what I was able to observe was much more prominent than my phone camera, I wanted to give enhancing the image using Copilot a try. Below are the results:

Thanks for stopping by ✌️

^{p.s. I did not include double emojis in the title because I also learned that the secondary rainbow has inverted colors!}
