Lightning rainbow


ladeeda

I’ve heard of moonbows, rainbows, cloudbows, and all sort of rainbows, but never lightning rainbows!

dum -dee-dum

this is nothing. Just for space. Ignore.

Apparently special rainbows are made when the moisture and negative and positive particles in the sky coincide at a certain time and place, making a rainbow and lightning at the same time. So instead of having a rainbow in the sky and then a lightning flash, the rainbow and lightning act as one. Instant rainbow. It’s almost impossible to capture on photographs, but some lucky people have done it. Usually the rainbow is very faint due to a lack of enough sunlight or electrical charge, but here are some examples of some strong rainbows.
