Tornado and Rainbow Over Kansas

NASA APOD · Eric Nguyen (Oklahoma U.), www.mesoscale.ws
COSMIC MESSAGE

Last June in Kansas, storm chaser Eric Nguyen captured this image of a tornado descending from a dark storm cloud. The scene is made even more dramatic by the presence of a rainbow, formed as sunlight reflects off raindrops. The tornado appears to touch down right at the end of the rainbow, creating a surreal and powerful natural tableau.
