Move Over Monday… somewhere over the rainbow.

Move Over Monday… somewhere over the rainbow.

  • When you see a rainbow it is after rain. The sun is always behind you and the rain in front of you when a rainbow appears, so the center of the rainbow’s arc is directly opposite the sun.
  • Every person sees their own “personal” rainbow. When you look at one, you are seeing the light bounced off of certain raindrops, but when the person standing next to you looks at the same rainbow, they may see the light reflecting off other raindrops from a completely different angle. In addition, everyone sees colors differently according to light and how their eyes interpret it. (The Franklin Institute)
  • “Somewhere Over the Rainbow” won the Academy Award for Best Song in 1939.
