In the November issue of Focus 2004 page 45 Andy Harrison writes
quote:
"Rainbows are in fact circular, with the circle's center exactly in line with your head when the sun is behind you. You only see part of the circle because the earth gets in the way, but people in aeroplanes have observed completely circular rainbows when the contitions were just right"
He goes on to explain how rainbows are formed, and that the colours only appear to be red top and blue bottom.
Of course if you don't like my source you can check this one http://my.unidata.ucar.edu/content/staff/blynds/rnbw.html http://www.phy.ntnu.edu.tw/java/Rainbow/rainbow_story.html
As for colours at the extremes of sectrum.
Animals can see them and with electronic aids we do see them isn't it interesting that they are called infra-red and ultra- violet.
On the whole my discussion was about what the indigenous people from around the world have associated with the rainbow and our part in nature. A possible reason as to how and why the chakras are associated with the Rainbow.
