April 22, 2015: Quadruple rainbow
A Long Island commuter snapped this photo of a quadruple rainbow yesterday morning and it has made all the social media. It turns out the quad is actually two doubles at the same time. Quadruple RAINBOW! What does this MEAN? |

LOL. That poor guy. It's good for him that he remains anonymous.

I can tell from the 11th pixel in the 55th row where his children go to Sunday school.

If that was for me, thanks, but, I was confused by Bruce's post about the pixels, and the rows, and the things at the place.

Never mind. I was mimicking the assholes who claim they can tell everything about a photo and it's history from examining the pixels.

Or was the quad rainbow the result of reflections between the two panes in the window?

Yeah. I don't see how a quad rainbow could exist without the rings being concentric.
This is two double rainbows that are offset. Only a rain shower on Tatooine would produce that. |

You're not actually wrong. The twinned rainbow of youtube video fame are concentric and explained by the different sized droplets. The other type is essentially made from the twin suns of tatooine, one of them being the reflected sun off the water or other highly reflective surface and the other being the regular old, American sun.
Glatt, isn't always right. There was that one time that he thought he was wrong, but it turned out that he was actually right.

What about two different rain showers displaced geographically but both within the "rainbow range"? don't you have "scattered showers" sometimes?

I think this line's mostly filler.

I'm pretty sure the center of the rainbow is opposite the sun from the observer. To get two rainbow centers, you need two suns, like Tattooine. Or, as explained, a sun and its reflection off of a large body of water.
Multiple rain showers won't help, only the one that is in the right place relative to the sun and the observer will have a rainbow. If they overlap, you'll see more of it, crossing both showers.
