Double Beauty of Colors Shine in the Sky
By ANSTIN ANTONY
DANVILLE, May 7- Residents of Danville, Pennsylvania witnessed the rare beauty of a double rainbow in the Eastern skies after a thunderstorm on Thursday May 3.
The double rainbow is rare and one of the most beautiful events in the sky after a storm. It is more common to see a single rainbow.

The double rainbow was visible from different parts of Danville, like this one, the sencondary rainbow faded away after several minutes.
Danville High School Science Teacher Paul Dennehy said that a double rainbow is formed when the light is refracted twice. The second rainbow had reversed colors to the main rainbow.
Many students from Danville High School saw this beauty of nature including seniors, Rachel Gill, Brandon Bennet, Patrick Maloney and Travis Bordner.
It (the double rainbow) was so beautiful. As soon as I saw it, I ran out and took a picture of it,- Rachel Gill
Bordner said that he was driving his car when he saw the double rainbow. “I thought the double rainbow was the biggest one I have ever seen. I really liked it,” said Bordner.

A double rainbow is formed when the light is refracted twice in a raindrop, but the colors are inverted, like this one in Danville sky on thurs May 3rd.
According to Maloney, he was at work when the evening thunderstorm arrived. He came out from work when the storm was over and saw a rainbow. “I went inside after seeing the first rainbow then came back again after few minutes and saw the double rainbow,” stated Maloney.
Another senior, Bennet, thought that it was a sign of a good luck. He was on the Danville bridge when he saw it. “I bought a lottery ticket, but it was worthless,” said Bennet disappointedly.
Even though a beautiful double rainbow cannot be said as a lucky day, it can make the day colorful and special.
