Have you ever seen a full circle rainbow?

I have seen a rainbow around the sun (a 22° halo) whilst in the far North. Read up that it is because of ice crystals high up in the sky. WikiPedia article on halo's got some pictures too.

Yeah, it's always fun to see a glory. I've always enjoyed flying just above the clouds in order to see them around the shadow of the plane.

well that looks really nice

Thanks for sharing, this is very interesting

Now you have!

First time for me honestly.... Pretty cool

Nope never have but I've seen double rainbows and funny enough saw a half rainbow just last evening.
Hubby and I grabbed some fast food and went down to the beach to eat dinner. Out over the bay to the south east.

WOW that is very cool, can't say I have ever seen a full circle rainbow. Looks like a portal to another dimension!

That is cool.

I drove through the end of a rainbow once. Everything shimmered gold. I poop you not. True story.

Yes but it initiated the super fund which has worked tirelessly since then cleaning up the most toxic sights in the country. Love canal was a horror.
Niagara falls on the other hand...outstanding amazing powerful and on the Canadian side a blast after dark. Do go if you ever get the opportunity.

Apparently somebody divided through zero again.

Indeed I have seem them as a halo around the moon before, usually on really weird feeling nights, it's almost kind of spooky. I've only seen it literally 2 or 3 times in my life and that was in the last two years, idk if it's a common thing or not the friends I was with at the time at never seen it before either (the first time weI saw it)

That is cool. I know the Bible mentions that a circular rainbow is around the throne of God, but have never seen one. It was trending on Facebook yesterday and saw it there.

(Revelation 4:3) . . .And the One seated had the appearance of a jasper stone and a sardius stone, and all around the throne was a rainbow like an emerald in appearance.

Double post.

No, but I do wonder if this guy would litterly implode into a black hole, while objects and people go into orbit around him, if he saw one.

That's awesome OP, thanks for posting. I have seen rainbow
circles around the moon and sun and such but nothing
like this.

One thing I only noticed a few years ago is that the second (outer) rainbow in a double rainbow has the colors going in reverse. If I cared enough I'd work out the optics as to why, but I'd rather just enjoy them.

I once saw a glory, and on the ground too. Look it up.

I have seen some double Rainbows and thought they were cool.
This however put's them to shame!
A full rainbow is some of the best Eye Candy I have even ingested!!

Thanx for the Share here!! Syx...
