Not really a rainbow, but the idea is the same. Yesterday morning the Atlas V carrying the SDO to orbit passed through some high clouds that were reflecting sunlight just right to create a sun dog next to the sun.Watch the video as the Atlas passes through the clouds, the rippling of the shock wave causes the dog to be shot down. Very cool!
