Summary Authors: Zdenek Bardon; Jim Foster
This photo shows an eye-catching rainbow with anticrepuscular rays as observed near Josefov, in the Czech Republic. Bows such as this are referred to as rainbow wheels because the rays are spoke-like, passing through both the primary and secondary rainbow (barely visible here). The antisolar point is the focus of the rainbow and in addition, is where the rays appear to converge. Photo taken on October 6, 2020, at 14:39 UT.
