Finished Death Stranding a couple of weeks ago and its inverted rainbow imagery has since been stuck in my head. Even dreamed of it yesterday night, so I went on to google it out to see if it's an actual thing.
It is.
It's called a circumzenithal arc, a phenomenon that occurs when sunlight refracts through ice crystals instead of raindrops. It has something to do with hexagonal molecular structures in snowflakes. Here's a video of how it works.

Beautiful, isn't it?
Some say that it's a smile in the sky. But if we stick to that line of thought, wouldn't a rainbow be a frown? In Death Stranding, I guess it's a direct replacement of the rainbow - a play on its theme of a world turned upside down.
Maybe those fabled pots of gold are somewhere in deep space instead.
Wait ... I thought rainbows were circles and we usually only see the top part ...

Pretty amazing, but damn confusing if a Leprachaun looking for which end of the rainbow the pot of gold was hidden.

Pretty cool. Thanks for the technical explanation. It will help me impress people at cocktail parties LOL 😂
I have started Death Stranding. I am impressed with the graphics, theme and imagery. I also love the back story behind the games creation. Gamer Lore of the highest caliber.
I hope you had a Merry Christmas and here’s to a safe and Happy New Year! Cheers 🥂
