double rainbows
Paired colorful arcs
A double rainbow is a pair of concentric rainbows, with the primary bow brighter and lower, the secondary bow fainter and higher with reversed color order.
The phenomenon occurs when light reflects twice inside water droplets.
Double rainbows gained memetic fame from a 2010 viral video of a man overcome with emotion at the sight: What does it mean?
