Anyone ever seen a twin/split rainbow? Saw this article on CNN. Don't know if the photo is real or a computer simulation but thought you might be interested.

Thanks for the link Phillip. Here is a link showing twins and other types of rainbows: http://www.atoptics.co.uk/fz516.htm. Click on the thumbnails at the bottom for larger photos and explanations. The reflection rainbow is incredible!
