A white rainbow appeared in Przysietnica, Lesser Poland. We received a photo of an unusual phenomenon on Kontakt24. – I haven't seen anything like this before – said Mr. Adam, the author of the photo.
Mr. Adam contacted the Kontakt24 editorial office. On Friday, while walking in Przysietnica near Stary Sącz (Lesser Poland Voivodeship), he saw something he had never seen before. Fortunately, he had his phone with him and decided to immortalize the unusual phenomenon.
“I haven't seen anything like this before”
– I went for a walk with the dog. Around noon, while coming down the mountain, I noticed what looked like a white rainbow. I haven't seen anything like this before. The sky was illuminated by the sun, there were some clouds floating around, and in the middle there was a white glow – said Mr. Adam. Impressed by the unusual phenomenon, the man reached for the phone. – The glow was white, but its edges were colored. The camera probably didn't capture it, he said.
White rainbow – how this phenomenon is created
A white rainbow is similar to the classic colored rainbow, but it appears not during rain, but during fog. This phenomenon is therefore typical of autumn or spring. Spotting a white rainbow is more difficult than a regular rainbow. This is due to the fact that the white rainbow is much wider than the classic one, and the colors of the arcs forming it are faded.
