<ul><li>Surprised to see a pilot's glory from the International Space Station. This optical phenomenon is often visible from airplanes, or when on a volcano looking down into a foggy crater with the sun in the back. Our shadow is (theoretically) right in the middle of the rainbow, but we don't have a core shadow due to our altitude.</li></ul>
