Wait… is a rainbow not actually there? It’s just something that happens in our eyes when the light hits it at the right angle or something
I like how in the first image that guy is in an ‘absolutely pissed about it’ stance
Walks forever to find the end of the rainbow
End of rainbow was inside him the whole time
My old apartment used to be set up in just such a way that after a midday shower, you would see a small Brocken Spectre’s centered around each of your eyes when you looked in the mirror. It was honestly kind of terrifying. The first time I noticed it, I wondered if I’d finally lost it.
Glowing circles around your black eyes in a fogged mirror.I think that means I have the opposite of a pot of gold in me.
My treasure is lifelong depression. Yay.
Samesies!
But why is it at that distance specifically? Can I get closer to a rainbow and see it become bigger? Why is there a 42° angle in the picture?
That’s the angle at which light is reflected by water droplets. The drawing is incorrect in that the cone is horizontal while the light appears to come from a higher angle. The cone is always directly opposite to the direction of the light source. Here’s a better drawing, with more reading about what exactly is going on.
So then the bottom middle picture in this post is also probably shopped?
Certainly, although it appears to depict the elusive 3rd order rainbow.
I like being gay on the inside. It’s really the only place I’m allowed to be gay.
That sounds like something a leprechaun would say…
Leprechaun propaganda to keep us poor.
Why does it appear at the distance that it does?
Because that is where the water droplets are. If you mist a hose in front of you on a sunny day, you’ll see the rainbow close.
Shit, that’s neat.
If everyone is special, then no one is.
A rainbow is a participation award.
Look look! 42
Now I need this for sun dogs.
Once i was driving a rig through ohio eastbound and seen a rainbow ahead, and they’re hard to predict with the untrained eye, but i said to myself, fuckin hilarious if i hit the end of the rainbow a couple miles west of Columbus.
And that is where i personally saw the end of a rainbow, like that spectral vision dropped into the middle of I-70, where traffic was fucked from collisions because people were you know
Some of us more than others.
