Stadium of light: Dramatic double rainbow illuminates football match
Nature provided a stunning backdrop to a football match last night in the form a dramatic double rainbow.
The colourful bow arched over the Keepmoat Stadium yesterday evening, as players from Doncaster Rovers and Tottenham Hotspurs filed onto the pitch.
A rainbow is created by both reflection and refraction. Sunlight shines on raindrops and the light is reflected back towards
the observer.
The raindrop also acts as a prism. The light is bent or refracted as it enters the water and splits into the full spectrum of colours from red to indigo.
The colours are so vivid here because the water droplets are between one and two millimetres in size, any smaller and the rainbow appears hazy.
