If you’ve been meaning to have your fill of awesome nature from the Maltese Isles, then the first day of this week did not disappoint. A beautiful double rainbow appeared over Birgu this morning, and it looked as amazing as it sounds.

According to Fen Shui writer Lillian Too, a double rainbow is a sign from the universe to whoever sees it that they’re about to have something great fall into their laps. In (much) more scientific terms, while a rainbow is visible when light is reflect off the back of a raindrop, a second (and usually dimmer) rainbow can be seen when light is reflected twice, in a way more complicated pattern. The colours of the second rainbow are inverted, with blue on the outside and red on the inside. 

Whether you look at it from a purely scientific perspective or prefer to contemplate on its magical and mythical implications, though, there’s no denying the beauty of this morning’s double rainbow over the Maltese Islands.
