For sure, you are familiar with rainbow. Rainbow symbolically means love of God for us when He spoke to Noah in the past saying that He will not bring waters to flood the Earth again. Rainbow usually exists after rain. Yesterday was Earth Day celebration and to celebrate the kindness and love Mother Earth has provided every creature in the world, heaven is rejoicing too when an extremely rare quadruple rainbow appeared in New York. Take a look:
This photo of the rarest rainbow of them all – a quadruple rainbow was captured by the lucky woman in Long Island, NY named Amanda Curtis. After she posted this photo, the excitement it brought inspired among commenters when it went viral, called to mind the viral ‘Double Rainbow’ video by Paul Vasquez when he saw one of this rare rainbow too year 2010. Watch the video below:
According to meteorologists, what Curtis actually saw was a double-double rainbow, but that doesn’t make it any less magical. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) research meteorologist Paul Neiman told the Washington Post that the second double rainbow resulted from the sun’s light reflecting off of a nearby body of water; “a large glassy-smooth water surface is required behind the observer. This smooth water surface reflects the sun, such that a second solar light source is generated. This reflected sun […] creates a second primary and secondary rainbow on the opposite side of the sky from the sun.” (WashingtonPost)
They’re very lucky to capture such magical phenomenon. 🙂
