2022 December 27 - A Full Circle Rainbow over Norway

December 27, 2022

In today's image, we see a full circle rainbow. This is only visible from above the ground because of the geometry involved in the reflection of light off of the raindrops. In this case, observed from a drone, we can see the full rainbow as a complete circle in the sky.
