Things I don't remember

I've been seeing rainbows my whole life, but I can never remember whether red goes on the inside or the outside. When I want to know, I always have to look for a picture.

Anyway, Hoshizora's artists got it wrong.

UPDATE: Why doesn't that link work? Anyway, try it from here.

1 There's a :D in the original link, which is getting sniped by the smilies code.

2 OK, I'll turn smilies off for the post.

3 There's another problem with that frame grab: it's back-lit. That isn't possible. When you see a rainbow, the sun is always at your back.

4 Unless there's something behind the observer which is blocking the light low to the ground.  Note that the far hills are illuminated as you would expect.

The second rainbow photo on the wiki page has an example of what I mean.  (The waterfall rainbow)  The near trees are in the dark.

5 "When you see a rainbow, the sun is always at your back."

Not necessarily. Scientists recently observed a quadruple rainbow, where the third and fourth are actually pretty close to the sun. It happens when a double rainbow is reflected off more water.

I doubt that is what the artists of Hoshizora were going for though.
