An amazing rainbow stretched across the sky on Sunday around sunset, and you could even see a double rainbow in some spots.

      Fabulous!
      And did you know a double rainbow is sort of a reflection/mirror image of the first one with the order of the colors reversed?😊

      ACTUALLY THIS IS THE CORRECT SEQUENCE (from google)

      When there is a double rainbow, the color order is reversed. … Double rainbows happen when the light gets reflected twice inside the water droplet. It’s a reflection of the reflection. So technically, the first bow shows the color pattern backwards and the second reflection corrects the pattern.
