A filmer captured a rare red rainbow over the sky in Camp Verde, Arizona, on July 17.
Red rainbows are “created for much the same reason that a sunset or sunrise looks red – because, when the sun is low, the blue and green of its rays are weakened by scattering during the long journey to your eyes through Earth’s atmosphere,” according to EarthSky.
“A gorgeous fiery-colored rainbow blossomed above my ranch last night,” the filmer said.
