Hey /sci/.

So a rainbow contains UV and IR light even though we can't see them because they exist in sunlight and a prism splits light into it's component wavelengths.

What about X-rays, Gamma-rays, and all those other wavelengths of EMF the sun shines at us. Are there invisible bands of them in rainbows too?

And radio, and microwave...

I can't remember off the top of my head, but aren't a lot of those types of radiation reflected when they hit the atmosphere?
Or am I remembering shit wrong?

Rainbows are caused by HAARP so yeah, lethal shit.

Nope... evolution has pretty much perfected our vision. What we see is most of the em radiation that the exists here.
The intensity of the other bands is too low.
