TheTician · 2012-11-05T17:20:30+00:00

I had a similar experience...I didn't find gold (though I didn't look in that guys car), however, I did get laid 30 minutes later. I have spent every rainy day trying to get back to the end of the rainbow... The other end of the rainbow

theabevigoda · 2012-11-05T18:08:33+00:00

I think I took a pic of the same thing - Mopac in Austin? Double rainbow + end of rainbow: https://sphotos-b.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-snc7/485676_10100633361909543_1110189693_n.jpg

Ometheus · 2012-11-05T17:58:57+00:00

"A rainbow does not actually exist at a particular location in the sky. Its apparent position depends on the observer's location and the position of the Sun. All raindrops refract and reflect the sunlight in the same way, but only the light from some raindrops reaches the observer's eye. This light is what constitutes the rainbow for that observer. The bow is centred on the shadow of the observer's head, or more exactly at the antisolar point (which is below the horizon during the daytime), and forms a circle at an angle of 40–42° to the line between the observer's head and its shadow. As a result, if the Sun is higher than 42°, then the rainbow is below the horizon and usually cannot be seen as there are not usually sufficient raindrops between the horizon (that is: eye height) and the ground, to contribute. Exceptions occur when the observer is high above the ground, for example in an aeroplane (see above), on top of a mountain, or above a waterfall." - Wikipedia

TL;DR Fake.

This is not the end of a rainbow. The reason is that rainbows are circles and circles don't end. You can see the rainbow continuing after it "hits" the road.

It's cool that he saw the end, but you can never go "through" it. It's all based on your focal point of vision where you're at. Even if he did see the end this close, it would just keep moving away from him the same rate as he's moving toward it.

I don't know if many people have noticed this but the water spraying up from the car's tires could give the rainbow-like appearance and just be filling in the bottom of the sky rainbow. Very timely picture if that's the case.

EVILEMU · 2012-11-05T20:11:17+00:00

I've actually found the origin of a rainbow, once you get too close, you can't see it anymore :( it just becomes a smaller and smaller arch until you're right at the middle and can't tell.

"It's a television commercial. With this cartoon leprechaun, and all of these children are trying to chase him, "Hey, leprechaun, leprechaun man, we want to get your lucky charms." Oh! And there are these little tiny pieces of mashmallow just stuck right in the cereal. So when the kids eat them they think, "Oooh this is candy, I'm having fun!"
