   Summary Authors:  Zdenek Bardon;  Jim Foster
   This photo shows an eye-catching rainbow with  anticrepuscular rays
   as observed near Josefov, in the Czech Republic. Bows such as this are
   referred to as  rainbow wheels because the rays are spoke-like,
   passing through both the  primary and  secondary rainbow (barely
   visible here). The  antisolar point is the focus of the rainbow and
   in addition, is where the rays appear to converge. Photo taken on
   October 6, 2020, at 14:39 UT.
