    Ever seen a Fire Rainbow?



    This caught my fancy last weekend. As someone who spends most of his time indoors, it's ironic that I'm getting more and more interested in anything outside. Anyway, the photo above is called a fire rainbow. Though it is a very silly and misleading name, the arc is not a rainbow and has nothing to do with fire.



    Fire rainbows are the rarest of all naturally occurring atmospheric phenomena. For a fire rainbow to occur, cirrus clouds must be 20,000 feet in the air with the precise amount of ice crystals, and the sun must hit the clouds at 58 degrees.

    Ever seen one of these?

                              I will add my own very important, unique opinion to this thread:

                              Never seen nor heard of a fire rainbow. Looks cool. Yay.

                                  That's what it looks like when I transcend from the sky.

                                          It looks something like "Northern Lights" but much more defined

                                              The first rainbow looks great. It has bright blue and yellow colors. This rare phenomenon is beautifully captured on camera for others to see. I have never seen a rainbow quite like this before.

                                                      It's not even slightly ironic.

                                                          I have seen two actually when I was on a cruise in the Western Caribbean. I was able to see it much better when I had my polarized sunglasses on. I took some pics of it, I will try to find and upload them, I had to put the sunglasses over the camera lens to really capture it. Very cool!

                                                          Edit: Found it!

I watched younger people around me starting to use the word incorrectly and when I would correct them, they would actually quote that stupid song back at me...
