It wasn't long ago that DOUBLE RAINBOWS were blowing our minds.  Now, something even rarer has happened:  A monochromatic, "all-red" rainbow stretched across the sky

in Birmingham, England earlier this month.

According to Wikipedia, it's just like a normal rainbow, but a monochrome rainbow requires the sun to be close to the horizon . . . so near sunrise or sunset.
