🌈 The view right now from my bedroom window here in the Bronx!!!

I don’t know that I’ve ever seen a complete rainbow, and *certainly* not one this vibrant.

It’s not fully captured but to my eyeball I could see every spectrum of the rainbow clearly. Truly wild.

This is how rainbows are made: youtube.com/watch?v=24GfgNtnjX

it's a lot cooler and more complicated than the explaination our schools and parents gave us.

The thumbnail? Yes that person has coloured lasers and a giant spere to shoot the lasers in. It's crazy! The production quality of this video is unmatchable

And in the end despite all the cones of coloured light and crazy stuff you will have understood thanks to the visualization.

I arrive in predawn darkness to venture into the Fernhill Wetlands preserve. My eyes glance upward to the nighttime sky already graying in the east. The moon pushes night toward the western horizon, fleeing the advent of morning light. My ears catch the dim hum of traffic hanging at the edges of quiet.
