@kevinmitnick You get a second rainbow because not all the light exits the raindrop. Some stays inside for a second round of internal reflection before dispersing on exit. What emerges is a dimmer, larger, and reversed rainbow. — PolitiTweet.org

@kevinmitnick Nice shot. And if you look carefully, especially in the upper left of the image, you can see the "second-order" rainbow, with color sequence reversed. — PolitiTweet.org

@kevinmitnick Another cool effect is that the sky is often darker between the primary and secondary rainbows than on either side of them. — PolitiTweet.org
