   The Earth Science Picture of the Day (EPOD) highlights the diverse processes   
   and phenomena which shape our planet and our lives. EPOD will collect and   
   archive photos, imagery, graphics, and artwork with short explanatory   
   captions and links exemplifying features within the Earth system. The   
   community is invited to contribute digital imagery, short captions and

      Summary Author:  Facundo Jauri   
      
      The rainbow panorama above, composed of 4 photos, was captured over   
      Quilmes, Buenos Aires. It was taken looking east at 17:29 (local time)   
      on September 22, 2022. Notice how this bow appears to split along the   
      highest portion of the arch, creating a different rainbow but with the   
      same color pattern as the  primary rainbow, unlike a normal double   
      rainbow where the  secondary outer bow has a reverse color pattern   
      than the primary bow. This is known as a  twinned rainbow. It's not   
      known for certain just how these bows form, but  model simulations   
      suggest that rain showers having slightly different shaped and sized   
      raindrops (spherical and oblate, for instance) could explain their   
      formation.
