Rainbow Mystery
July 29th was a long, rainy day in Statesville, North Carolina. When the evening clouds finally parted, photographer Charles Tilley saw something wonderous: "The southern sky was filled with multiple rainbows. A complete arc was never seen, but parts of five different rainbows appeared at the same time."
What could cause such a strange, fragmented rainbow? Answering that question became a "nice little exercise in atmospheric optics detective work" for rainbow-expert Les Cowley.
In short, it took several localized showers drizzling extra-tiny raindrops to produce the display.
Says Cowley, "You will not see something like that again for a very long time!"
Note: Unless you Acknowledge Chemtrails in the sky!
