Rare picture of full circle rainbow over Tampa, FL.

‎08-02-2019 03:11 PM

This is not a link.  You can copy/paste or just type "circle rainbow over tampa" in google and find a news clip of a very rare situation seen by our local news helicopter.  Enjoy!

I had never heard of a full circle rainbow either.  Didn't know they existed.  I find this video facinating!

 

Guess that explains the "pot of gold" at the end!

That's pretty neat. I don't think I have ever seen one of those. My dad used to live in Tampa Bay.

Actually, all rainbows are full circles.

 

 

It's just when you are looking at one when you are on the ground, you only see a half-circle.

 

 

But, if you were to get up high enough, say in an airplane, or helicopter, and were to look at that very same rainbow, you would see that it is indeed, a full circle.

 

 

It all has to do with your perspective as you are looking at it.

The Sky looks different when you have someone you love up there.

It seems like the pilot could have flown right through it!  (Yes, I know, impossible.)
