“Rainbows and Rays over Bryce Canyon” is copyrighted by John Rummel. NASA has permission to show it and we don't, so it isn't on this card.
See it on NASA's siteBryce Canyon is known for its unique geology, but sometimes the sky above it offers a show as well. This image captures two optical effects: a common rainbow, formed by sunlight scattering off raindrops, and more rare crepuscular rays. Both phenomena required the Sun to be directly behind the photographer.
