Amazing Rainbows

The Rainbow Bridge connects realities through the frequencies of light and color.

This is a photo of Tibetan Buddhist monk, the Ven. K. C. Ayang Rinpoche, blessing the deer in Kyoto's Nara Park, July 26th, 1985 (year of the buffalo). He only asked once for a photo of him to be taken, saying, "Take a photo now!" No one saw the rainbow until the print was developed. Rinpoche, on seeing the photograph, said he felt that his prayer blessing of the deer had been answered by the Buddha Amitabha at the very moment the photo was taken, when he had made contact with the deer, and that the power of His blessing appeared in rainbow form.

Spectacular Spectrums: Amazing Rainbows

By Steve in 7 Wonders Series, Nature & Ecosystems, Science & Research

Gloriously hued and ephemeral in nature, rainbows are one of the most beautiful sights the skies have to offer. They come in a wide variety of shapes, styles, sizes and yes, even colors. These ten amazing arcs show what happens when Mother Nature gets out her paintbox.

Classic Rainbows

Most everyone has seen a classic, garden-variety rainbow – sometimes in their gardens while watering their plants with a misting spray.

Natural rainbows are made up of 6 colors: red, orange, yellow, green, blue and violet. The intensity of each color may vary due to atmospheric conditions and the time of day (more on that later).

Circular Rainbows

The rainbows most of see are actually arcs of perfect circles (with radii of exactly 42 degrees, according to Descartes), though viewing a complete rainbow is difficult as the ground has a habit of getting in the way.

The advent of powered flight and aerial photography has enabled the magnificence of circular rainbows to be revealed to an awestruck public. Of course, if an airplane isn’t available a really high mountainwill do.

Secondary Rainbows

Primary rainbows are often accompanied by secondary rainbows that are usually thinner and dimmer than the main rainbow. Here’s a bit of trivia that may come in handy at parties or around the water cooler: the area between primary and secondary rainbows that appears darker than the surrounding sky is called “Alexander’s Band”.

Secondary rainbows are remarkable for one particular characteristic: they display the spectrum in reverse order from that of a primary rainbow. It’s not something most people are familiar with, as is seen in the photoshop rendering above. Though sketched from the artist’s memory of an actual event, the repeated structure of both rainbows shows that it’s not an accurate portrayal.

Red Rainbows

Red rainbows are usually seen at sunrise or sunset when the thickness of the earth’s atmosphere filters out blue light leaving more red or orange light for water droplets to reflect and refract. The result is a rainbow with the more reddish end of the spectrum greatly enhanced.

Sundogs

Sundogs are not rainbows per se, but share many of their visible attributes. Most commonly seen low in the sky on a bright winter’s day, sundogs are created when sunlight shines through ice crystals high in the atmosphere. Sundogs are red on the inside and violet on the outside with the rest of the spectrum crammed in between. The thicker the concentration of ice crystals in the air, the more defined the structure of a sundog and its associated arcs becomes.

Moonlight can be acted on by ice crystals to form – you guessed it – “moondogs”. The image above was taken in Antarctica where, due to frigid air temperatures and blowing snow, sundogs and moondogs are extremely common.

Fogbows

(image via: WWU Planetarium)

Fogbows are much rarer than rainbows because certain narrow parameters must align to create them. For one, the light source must be behind the observer and low to the ground. Also, any fog to the rear of the observer must be very thin so that sunlight can shine through to the thicker fog in front.

(images via: Extreme Instability, Space Weather and STOLspeed)

Many fogbows display paler colors compared to rainbows and some are mainly white. This is due to the fog being composed of exceedingly fine water droplets.

Waterfall Rainbows

(images via: Environmental Graffiti and Canada Photos)

Waterfalls kick a constant stream of mist into the air and the atmospheric saturation goes on constantly, regardless of the weather. This makes waterfalls excellent photographic companions to rainbows! The above selection of images pairs some of the world’s most famous waterfalls with some equally stunning rainbows.

(image via: Schools Wikipedia)

A variation of waterfall rainbows are “spray bows”, formed on sunny days when wind kicks up ocean or lake waves and the air becomes saturated with mist and moisture.

Fire Rainbows

(images via: ABC3340weather, Sujathafan and Crystalinks)

Fire rainbows are not actually rainbows and have no connection with fires. The true name for this exquisitely beautiful optical effect is “circumhorizontal arc”.

(image via: Opacity)

The phenomenon can only be viewed under certain precise conditions: the cirrus clouds that act as prisms must be at least 20,000 feet high and the sun must strike them when it is at an elevation of 58 to 68 degrees. Fire rainbows are never seen at locations situated more than 55 degrees north or south.

Moonbows

(images via: COLOURlovers)

Moonbows, like moondogs, are the lunar counterpart to rainbows. They’re also much more difficult to witness due to the requirement of a passing rainstorm and, ideally, a bright full moon unblocked by clouds.

(image via: Night Sky Hunter)

In the spectacular image above, the photographer used a 30-second exposure at 4:34am in the morning, the moon being nearly full. The bright star under the moonbow is the orange supergiant Arcturus.

Truly rainbows have earned their reputation for being the crowning touch for any scene of natural beauty. Like snowflakes, every rainbow is unique and one-of-a-kind… and somewhat sadly, all too temporary. Perhaps the true pot of gold is to be found not at the end of the rainbow, but by having the privilege to view one from the beginning.

Chippewapa means "Rainbow River in the Sky". She is a blue child and heart of the world. She brings us happiness because she calls, the blue of heaven upon this view. And Rainbow Colors fly into the sky, to heal all of our lives. And when we are in tears and need a helping hand, there begins a dance in the wind. And we begin to muster the strength that we need, to lean on love in the wind. Come shout and dance and bring your thoughts to God (voice) where the wind will listen to all your pain. And when are done sharing the story upon your heart, the step in your dance will feel the wind. We gather to show the great mystery show, the spirit that relies on everything. It's you and me Brother, my Sister I do k/need, because we are part of this sacred tree. The holy devoted, the true and motivated, to gain love is known in our hearts. And those who don't look forth, but only look back of course, you miss the adventure waiting to begin. It's smooth sailing when heaven is a whaling, down the valleys into darkness, where our soul do appear, to shout out, we are sow near (rainbow colors stream from our hearts).

Harmony Dance With Me!

Today we learn "to bee" free and understanding of the language that binds us all. (chorus) "Harmony, dance with me". (end chorus) Sing with me, in the stars. In the halls of righteousness we bind our hearts in the wind. And when we shine our stars, we find out we are looking far, far, far away into the depths of time space and matter that leads us home into the light.  We are fields, fields of dreams, the divine heavenly center carry me. Divine center come free. Bellow into the winds of time. I am the matter that shines. I am the positive that binds, that makes things into matter chime, holy and divine.  Negative (heavenly rays, a light from within) sublime capture my heart this day. I want to learn to pray.

Capture my heart this day as I long to play at Grandmother's door, we dare explore through the doors.  We can sail to and fro like the river (knows), as the winds blow in harmony.  You and I we whisper. We whisper. We whisper. We whisper. And time does sail along the eves (great streams). Where we do see, perfect harmony. And if you want to be the wave of love, then sail away with me, throughout destiny.

Hold on to my hand as we go into the stream uniting hearts.  I will understand within and on (our) hearts we do gleam, "Heaven's dance in me". Each morning I do see/sea. Each morning I do hear, I do hear. Each morning I feel your spill. Let love be my steer, strength be near. And may you ever fill, ever fill the cups. Come close, come close, come closer, to me. Ever feel the harmony within, as treasures, as rainbows, as colors, as light, may you feel as you take flight.  We will dance and give thanks this day for the lessons learned that show the way.  Only truth can light our way into the rivers we now go beyond the horizons we glow, home-ward bound. Aho (may your spirit fly).

I hear, I sing, yes and dream.

Chippewapa and White Buffalo Calf Woman Sing and Holiness David Running Eagle Shooting Star Drums. Sacred Song Blessing, for the Heart of the Dance, "Harmony Dance With Me!".  Harmony is a Korean word which means Grandmother.  And Harmony (peacefulness) is an English word we understand when we are around Grandmother. And Grandmother is the center of our universe, the black hole, where all does flow towards her. This is the dream world, we live together and share, this singularity realized is LOVE all the way, home here we dance and play, joy is known in our days!

Above Image: Galaxy NGC 7331 - the Milky Way's Twin If our own Milky Way galaxy were 50 million light-years away with its disk inclined slightly to our line of sight, it would look a lot like large spiral galaxy NGC 7331. The spiral arms span about 100,000 light-years, the size of the Milky Way. This striking image was produced using data from the Calar Alto Observatory in southern Spain and Astronomical Observatory of the University of Valencia This gorgeous island universe begs the question: "are we alone?" With an estimated 100 billion galaxies in the Universe, we think not. Well, perhaps in the Milky Way; but, again, we think not. NGC 7331, 50 million light-years distant in the northern constellation Pegasus, is often touted as a twin spiral analog to our Galaxy. NGC 7331 was recognized early on as a spiral nebula and is actually one of the brighter galaxies not included in Charles Messier's famous 18th century catalog. Thank you scientists of the world.

Siamese Twin Galaxies in a Gravitational Embrace |  In what appears to be a masterful illusion, astronomers at Gemini Observatory have imaged two nearly identical spiral galaxies in Virgo, 90 million light years distant, in the early stages of a gentle gravitational embrace. The new image was obtained at the Gemini South telescope in Chile using GMOS, the Gemini Multi-Object Spectrograph.

Like two skaters grabbing hands while passing, NGC 5427 (the nearly open-faced spiral galaxy at lower left) and its southern twin NGC 5426 (the more oblique galaxy at upper right), are in the throes of a slow but disturbing interaction-one that could take a hundred million years to complete.

"Slightly out of line of each other, corner of the eye all is seen, all around, where there is sound, music abounds", White Buffalo Calf Woman Sings.

White Buffalo Calf Woman: Thank you beloved for a great song. Glad to see I got the rest of the song.

Chippewapa:  Aho, you went somewhere! Wow, I did too, almost zoned out.

White Buffalo Calf Woman: Big laughter! Thank you Holiness David for drumming for us today. Thank you Chippewapa for singing today. Love you and we will talk again.

Chippewapa: It is nice when our spirits dance.

White Buffalo Calf Woman: Very nice, but I think I have to read it again (to get full meaning, echo it in my mind, the reverberation of heaven).

Chippewapa: And spiral up like shooting stars!

White Buffalo Calf Woman: Oh, how sweet. Yes, I can see why you love that image (crop circle describing the cosmic dance of twin stars). It's a story about you (like this song). That is why some of us like some images and others like others. This is the relationship, the kinships or fields of dreams. Aho (may your spirit fly).

Chippewapa: Aho, this is right.  Thank you Mother (White Buffalo Calf Woman Twin Deer Mother) for dancing and singing with me.  We went on a journey together.  We went somewhere. Aho.  Big hugs and love you!

Holiness David Running Eagle (lavender child) says, "Space has got a human face!"  White Buffalo Calf Woman (crystal child) says, "Space is the place stars do shine!"  Chippewapa (blue child) says, "Gardens do grow, to make music we sow, blooming everywhere!"

Rainbow Warriors We Adore!

White Buffalo Calf Woman: Shall we sing then? We can sing together or I can sing a song for you or anyone you wish.
Chippewapa (Rainbow River in the Sky): Aho yes. Sing for the Rainbow Warriors. We shall do what you want Mother (White Buffalo Calf Woman Twin Deer Mother).

White Buffalo Calf Woman: What I want is for all the children to be happy. Ready. Holiness David Running Eagle Shooting Star is drumming now, the buffalo drum.


Chippewapa (Rainbow River in the Sky): Aho, we sing!

White Buffalo Calf Woman:  Okay. Go (I will follow you). ("Chippewapa" Rainbow River in the Sky begins and we sing together!)

We bless the children of the rainbow everywhere. We care.  We bless the children. Everywhere!  In their hearts and everywhere, we sing and share, if we dare.  And all around, we make a sound.  Oh heavenly bound, come on home to the blue. The path that is true with a clear eye and seeking blue, you are home to the place that you knew.

Always k/new the path that is true, my heart belongs to you.  And whence I came, upon a star I flew my way just to get this far, to be with you, my heavenly blue.  We are here singing now. Singing loud.  Blue children (heavenly bound), your time is now.  Your time has come. I love the soul, the very rungs (evolution steps). Now step with me. OH heavenly breeze.  Come step with me, I feel our k/needs.  Bow down to your soul, oh heaven you are so bold. We shall walk together feeling the wind and the breeze, you are perfect and whole.

We shall sing together for harmony (grandmother). We shall sing together for all our destiny.
It's time to believe. It's time to believe. It's time to believe. Come and share with me (louder from a whisper). And my heart flows into yours that glows, to and fro across this land and time, up above where rainbows shine.  We chime.  We chime.  We chime.  Sing a little rhyme, our beats and rhymes, we shine. 

We sing a little rhyme our beats do chime, blowing across the sky, through and true you will remember this walk of the blue, into the river we go.  The story was told, "We are going home to you". Now Rainbow Warriors everywhere, "Come on home and don't despair. It's time for love and laughter everywhere. It's time to dance and be aware."  (whisper in the breeze) Sing a little song for you and me!

We bow down, we offer you up to the heavens.  We bring you all home through laughter and cheers.  We shall prepare for the times (that) are near. (whisper) Trusting all our tears. Have no fear cause Mother, she will endear and sit to here/hear. 

(beat shifts)

(Loudly, making a statement.) We will soar.  We will fly.  We will soar. We will fly and the thunders will roar and we have our love in store, for all who wish to come upon the treasures near.  Don't you fear. Instead let's cheer. Come jump with me near. Leap of faith is all you need.
Rainbow Warrior come on home and stead. We are needing your heart this day, as we bow down to pray. Receive your treasures, in all your measures, for man, will be kind again, Mankind will eliminate all sin.

Rejoice, Rejoice, Rejoice. It's done! Now all you have to do, is be a perfect clue, the heart of me and you, the Rainbow Warrior true. Bow down with me and you!
