point of order: the octarine was not between the two rainbows. The space between the rainbows was Alexander's dark belt, exactly as would be expected. The other stuff...

Huh. Okay, so, maybe it's not octarine after all. It appears to be a known phenomenon called supernumerary rainbows". Apparently, they're still under research.
That's funny, just today I was reminded of the time a few years back when we got some really bright sun under the edge of a heavy rain squall, and I got a photo of myself posing with a shovel as if digging where a rainbow touched down in the back yard (as viewed from the house). It was a traditional film camera, not digital, but if I ever find the photo again it's on my list of things i'd love to scan and post somewhere - the really funny bit is that I found a quartz chunk with pyrite intrusions there. Maybe there really is something to the 'fairy gold at the end of a rainbow' thing..?

Date: 2005-05-22 02:36 am (UTC)It's still octrine to me. And if I believe it is hard enough, it will really be it.
Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection
