     @jerry @ksaj that is a fake picture, any real rainbow needs to be circular not elliptical

     this is a real full rainbow

     @ksaj I knew it would be a circle under the right conditions but damn that is stunning.

     @jerry I've seen a lot of neat things in the air, but this definitely beats them all.

     @Nonya_Bidniss @ksaj yeah, many, many, many (many) people pointed that out after I boosted it. It’s still beautiful “art” even if fake so I left the boost

     @jerry @ksaj False. This is debunked already, sorry to say. If it seems too good to be true, it almost certainly is. https://leadstories.com/hoax-alert/2023/03/fact-check-colorful-image-is-not-a-real-photo-of-a-complete-rainbow-captured-by-a-pilot-at-30000-feet.html
