What color is the rainbow? It usually has all the colors. But the rainbow that Harlan Thomas was photographed on 8 June at the city of calgary in Alberta (Canada), was very unusual, because it was only red.

The photographer was hoping to capture noctilucent clouds and began observing early in order to have time to make beautiful pictures of the sunset. When he was shooting the setting sun, then looked over his shoulder, and his surprise knew no bounds. There was a red rainbow that looked like she is very close, if it is possible to reach.

What did the rainbow red? It was the only possible color. All the other colors of the rainbow were scattered by air molecules and dust particles under a low sun. I think this rainbow was for Harlan Thomas a great consolation prize instead of noctilucent clouds.
