A Rainbow Turned Upside Down
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 ...
Shh.. it ends somewhere!
Here we get Sun Dogs:

Pretty amazing, but damn confusing if a Leprachaun looking for which end of the rainbow the pot of gold was hidden.
Space leprechauns. Might be a plot for the sequel
I have a normal one I took a few days ago here maybe mine attaches to yours?
