Alex previous post was filled with references to the cosmic significance of the number 7.
Well I learned something about cicular rainbows - gotta be in a plane to see them.
I do not have access to the magazine Focus but there's a nice picture here ...

The first link does not mention a "cicular" rainbow. The second one does. So we have some odd occurences of people being in airplanes. Great.
I disagree with the quoted author. The earth does not "get in the way" of the rainbow. In order for the phenomena called, "rainbow," we need water droplets, sunlight and an observer at the correct position. In the earth there is no water mist to reflect the sun's light to an observer.
I rarely see a full semi-circle rainbow. It is usually only part of the arc. Does that mean we have the sky or clouds to "get in the way." No it means the reflected sunlight is not there.
Anyone want to bite on, "If there is no observer is there a rainbow?"
From another perspective, we create the rainbow. I like that one.
