... This is amazing I can't help but wonder whether there was a tertiary bow around the sun when that photo was taken! 'Tis a shame that most people wouldn't think of looking behind them for what is presumably a pretty rare effect... |

'Tis a shame that most people wouldn't think of looking behind them for what is presumably a pretty rare effect... The tertiary bow has never been reliably observed. See http://www.sundog.clara.co.uk/rainbows/ord34.htm It is around the sun in the opposite direction to the primary and secondary. It is heavily masked by light that passes through raindrops without an internal reflection. |
