'Beautiful is an understatement'
PICTURED ABOVE IS A FIRE RAINBOW, SUPPOSEDLY THE RAREST OF ALL NATURALLY OCCURRING ATMOSPHERIC PHENOMENA. THE PICTURE WAS CAPTURED THIS WEEK ON THE IDAHO/WASHINGTON BORDER. THE EVENT LASTED ABOUT 1 HOUR.
ACCORDING TO REPORTS, THE CLOUDS HAVE TO BE CIRRUS, AT LEAST 20K FEET IN THE AIR AND CONTAIN JUST THE RIGHT AMOUNT OF ICE CRYSTALS. THE SUN HAS TO HIT THE CLOUDS AT PRECISELY 58 DEGREES. WHEN ALL OF THAT HAPPENS, A FIRE RAINBOW IS THE RESULT. PRETTY COOL!
