The Fire Rainbow

Forget the Double Rainbow, there's a new celestial phenomenon that makes us yelp "OMG what does this mean?"

Lisa Foss of Ely, Minnesota saw this brilliant display of what some colloquially term a "fire rainbow" on Monday, while another show popped up in Edgewood, Texas on Saturday.
The rainbows are caused by ice crystals in the thin, distant clouds being at just the correct angle to refract the sunlight into the colors of the prism.

Meteorologist Scott Sistek of KATU has more.
