Supernumerary Rainbows
At 4:55 pm on December 5, 2021, just before the sun goes down, a bright rainbow suddenly appeared in the east, and at least two layers of Supernumerary Rainbows can be seen with the naked eye. After cropping and zooming the photo, adjusting the brightness and saturation, you can see that there are 5 color fringes including the primary bow. These Supernumerary Rainbows are caused by the phenomenon of light interference. It's really wonderful!
