Quite a few times I had people tell me "Why do you have to explain everything and can't enjoy how [x] in nature looks?". People like that, although not all of them, also tend to be "wifi/mobile radioation sensititve" and/or peddle astrology and homeopathy. They also tend to get upset when "there ought to be a rainbow", but I explain to them that they won't be able to see one around noon, no matter how much rain and sun there is at the same time.
When I look at a rainbow I still see beautiful colors, the same they do (or maybe they don't see same, but let's not go into that ;) ), but knowing how everything works and why it happens makes it even more amazing.
That is the most beautiful rainbow I have ever seen on camera! We don’t get rainbows that often in California, so the only way to see one is by using a garden hose.
This is absolutely stunning! Thanks for sharing Philip!

Thanks Phil!
Great appearance on The SGU last week too. I always love your explanations. :)
We miss you so much here on UA-cam, Phil! Please come back to us and make more videos where you answer questions and talk about astronomy and stuff :)
Quite a show, and all for the price of looking up once in a while.
That's absolutely gorgeous! Thanks for the great video!
That’s amazing! Thanks so much for sharing that! Taste the rainbow!
A natural spectroscope or two plus extra jaw-dropping atmospheric effects. Superluminous! Love this clip. Thanks BA :-)
The lightning was definitely the bonus footage.
Great stuff here. :)
[calm] WOW!... when you turn 180 degrees... it's a paradise!
Amazing video, thanks Phil!
So freaking awesome man, thank you for all the great videos.
I know I'm 4 years late to the party, but just wanted to say that this was very cool and informative. Thank you!
Love ur videos. Thanks phil.
that is the brightest rainbow i have ever seen!
[Obligatory meme reference here]
Gratitudes! Amen & Alléluia!
I cant find any pics of it or anything but instead of lighting i saw a rainbow dash in the sky the form of lightning it was the most beautiful thing i’ve ever seen
Wow! Awesome footage and explanations!
Gorgeous!
wow pretty
Spot on with your timing! Great little video that I expect will go viral and make news world wide!
Beautiful video Phil :)
I Love rainbow
Wow! Thank you for the info. I have been wondering why the brightness was different.
Cliff Burton and Dio must be having one hell of a jam session up there
beautiful video
You can emulate a rainbow indoors but you need a mirror.
Proof positive of a reflective surface above our heads.
Firmament: confirmed.
Coolest thing a double rainbow, I have a friend in Japan that spotted one too.
Good stuff .. thanks
Just a few hours ago i saw a picture (ani gif) linked on reddit, someone was filming a double rainbow just like this, and lightning struck right off his property. Big cloud of dust, then he dropped the camera. Awesome shot though!
Its filmed from sweden and the video or GIF can be found in strange things happening videos (videos about the end is in 2016)

New video! yay!
Cool one love it
i get you think you know whats going on although our eyes can't see much of the visible spectrum of what you perceive as light, science will always be incomplete as we are flawed.
That's a double rainbow not the simple rainbow and the lightning is also there while the dark clouds
Awesommmme
Magia!
For a moment you can see there's another smaller group of color waves inside the actual rainbow (and that's what makes the purple in the rainbow)
woahh dope
Not bad, but I still prefer our triple rainbow from last month. It had two beautifully visible arches and even faintest third one was a little clearer than the second arch in your video, and the entire thing was completely symmetrical to boot.
These kinds of things are what usually prompt me to stop for a moment and imagine just how stumped and/or scared I would be of such simple phenomena if I lived just a few hundred years ago when we had no idea how they worked. Science is awesome.
Very nice! I don't agree with the theory of reflection in every drop separately though. Then the sky would look like a colorful confetti feast, not with these bow shapes.
but... but... rainbows = god still, right? :)
Absolutely amazing video and thanks for the extremely informative narrative, Phil!
"BRING ME THANOS!"
Stunning video, stunning moment to have witnessed in real life! PLEASE do yourself a favor and go to the UA-cam video editor page and choose "Stabilize" and it will make this video UNBELIEVABLY smooth and clearer! It deserves it! Wonderful capture, brother!

***** Hi Phil. Your video and usual Space topics made me wonder if one day we will have robotic spacecraft taking pictures of rainbows from other bodies in the Solar System, perhaps from Enceladus, Europa or maybe even a comet tail.
I'm here right now
