Record-long rainbow that sagged above the ground almost 9 hours, captured at the end of last month in Taiwan. Two scientists from the Republic of China officially recorded this phenomenon, although initially engaged in a slightly different work. Zhou Kwan-Yuen and Liu Xin-Yuen from the University of Chinese Culture in Taipei managed to do this on November 30 right from the roof of their campus.
Experts report that a multi-colored sky arc appeared near the campus at 6:57 in the morning, and disappeared at 3:55 in the evening. Thus, she existed for almost 8 hours and 58 minutes! The authors of the discovery suggest that everything could be the fault of seasonal monsoon. Note that the previous record belongs to the rainbow, recorded in 1994 in the English county of Yorkshire. She pleased the eye of scientists and ordinary eyewitnesses for about 6 hours.
Zhou Kwan-Yuen and Liu Xin-Yuen report that they climbed to the roof campus after the rain specifically to see the rainbow. They are intended to prove the theory that every half hour a colorful arc tapers by 7 degrees. For some reason, scientists haven’t reported whether or not they obtained this proof, however, they they say with certainty that they were lucky capture the longest rainbow. Taiwanese now hope that their rainbow will fall into the Guinness Book of Records.
