This globe has a mirror and when put in the light just right, it casts a rainbow. I'm guessing the mirror works as a prism, but I always stunk at science, so feel free to correct me. The violet is coming before the blue in this color sequence. A I'm interested to know but not enough so to do the research, at least for the moment. I will be late for book club covering When Nietzsche Wept, which I really liked. |

I don't know how it works either, but it is very pretty!
ReplyDeleteI wonder if it's the glass refracting the light. It's very pretty, at any rate -- I adore rainbows.
ReplyDeleteLove this. I'm betting on the glass, too. Maybe glass of globe + glass of mirror?
ReplyDeleteI have no idea, but how cool is that?!
ReplyDeleteThe curve of the globe glass + the mirror?
Beautiful.
Gorgeous! I love rainbows :)

ReplyDeleteThis is a spectacular shot. I'd love to see it blown up & hanging in a high end gallery somewhere.
Thanks! It's actually the plastic globe that Beth gave me. All of this sun despite the heat is making me very happy.
