APOD from 2010-08-07
Rainbow at Sunset
This panorama captures a rainbow and the Sun together, taken from Potsdam, Germany. Formed by sunlight reflecting inside raindrops, the light separates into colors due to different refraction of wavelengths. The image shows a bright primary arc, a dimmer secondary one above it, and faint supernumerary arcs inside the primary.
