Rainbows follow our programme . In unit meetings, they do fun activities, play games and earn skills builder badges, all while being supported by our trained volunteers. The facts are both fun and informative and illustrations by Liz Kay take the reader right through a vibrant colour palette and are so visually stimulating for a young reader. Colourful fonts, quirky captions and short, nicely divided paragraphs make the book lively and engaging to read and dip in and out of repeatedly. Another similar phenomenon, called a ‘glory’, occurs on Venus (pictured) and is caused by droplets of sulphuric acid that are present in the planet’s atmosphere. After each colour is explored , the book cleverly goes 'beyond the rainbow' to look at the dark and those colours that the human eye cannot see. The science of how our brains and eyes work together to see different shades is so clearly and concisely explained. This may be why only five scientifically knowledgeable observers had described tertiary rainbows during the past 250 years.

When Lee presented his findings at last year's International Conference on Atmospheric Optics, it sparked heated discussion. Some scientists insisted that past descriptions were wrong and that tertiaries were too dim to see in the Sun's glare. And teaming up with none other than Lucy Hawking to investigate her book Princess Olivia Investigates: The Wrong Weather! How about Jupiter’s moon Europa ? We sure do remember the recent NASA reports about the discovery of the water plumes on the Jovian moon? Maybe the upcoming NASA Europa Clipper mission will return some beautiful photographs of Europa’s rainbows and halos! We cannot wait! In addition to the confirmed photo of a tertiary rainbow, the optical treasure hunt went one step further, as revealed in another photo that shows the shimmering trace of a fourth (quaternary) rainbow. And as well as going to events planned locally and by her unit, she could also go to our fun-filled, circus-themed extravaganza, Magic and Mayhem and make friends from around the UK.

At the end of the show, your pupils will be set a Story Making Mission to write a story to change the world, using top tips from each of our guests on the show. Can You Get Rainbows in Space?: This non-fiction book explores space and science by looking at each colour of the rainbow.

Sheila is a planetary physicist and the current Education, Outreach and Diversity officer for the Royal Astronomical Society in London. She was appointed MBE in the 2022 New Year’s Honours List for services to astronomy and diversity in physics. Rainbows welcomes all girls from 4 to 7 years old for play, learning and tons of fun in a colourful, safe space. Puffin started out as a non-fiction publisher, with its first title appearing in 1940. As the most iconic and well-known children’s book brand in the UK today, we are always on the lookout for innovative ways to tell the world’s favourite stories and for brilliant new debut talent and brands that connect with today’s young readers, from newborn up to twelve years old. The Moon can make rainbows too. They are called Moonbows ! They are formed the same way as rainbows, only using the Moonlight, i.e. the light of the Sun reflected off the Moon.

Can You Get Rainbows in Space? starts with an explanation of how we see light and colour. It then takes each colour of the rainbow and shares some key facts about it. For example, at Indian weddings some brides wear red which symbolises love, commitment and strength and that in the early 1900s, purple was one of the colours representing Women’s Suffrage which stood for freedom and dignity. This is followed by more information on other aspects linked to the colour such as why the seas are blue or why leaves turn orange in Autumn. I found the facts fascinating and I liked the way that each colour was a different section. After the colours there is a section ‘ Beyond the Rainbow’ which explores the parts of the spectrum that are invisible to the human eye. Finally, the book focuses on rainbows and answers the title of the book – Can You Get Rainbows in Space? There are other beautiful optical phenomena that look a bit similar to rainbows, like glories (they require very small droplets of water in clouds and sunshine), halos, i.e. sundogs (they require ice crystals and sunlight) and some others. The water droplets that make a rainbow don’t have to be raindrops. The mist from fountains, waterfalls and even garden sprinkler is also good for rainbowmaking! Oeddech chi’n gwybod bod gan hipopotamysau chwys coch, bod llygaid glas yn hollol glir heb unrhyw bigment o gwbl, a bod bananas goraeddfed yn pelydru lliw indigo o dan olau uwchfioled?

This is a brilliant, excitingly informative and really warm-hearted look at all things bright and beautiful and will be wonderful to return to again and again. Badges can be attached to her uniform – the promise badge, which she’ll get after making her Rainbow promise, should be on the left-hand side and all other badges can be attached where she chooses. Dapo Adeola, Tracy Darnton, Joseph Coelho and Chitra Soundar are among the 19 authors and illustrators longlisted for the Inclusive Books for Child...

The work is described in a series of papers in a special issue published this week in the Optical Society's (OSA) journalApplied Optics . You’ll discover the answers to these questions – and many more – in this incredible collection of scientific facts about colour. We’ll talk about light (the most important thing) and waves (not the kind you see at the beach – though you will learn why the sea looks blue!). You’ll find out how some animals are able to glow in the dark and how others change their colours to hide from predators. Keep reading to discover why leaves change colour in the autumn, why your veins look blue but your blood is red, and why the language we use shapes the colours we see . . .

The rainbow is in fact a full circle, but from the ground we can only an arch. A full circle can be seen from from an airplane! You’re invited to become a team of storyologistsin our free World Book Day Story Makers Show. Tune in, where we will be: So looks like seeing rainbows in the Solar System is possible, though unlikely. Some exoplanets probably have the right conditions for the rainbows to form. Future ground-based and space observatories will tell us more about the orbits, structures and compositions of these exotic worlds! The winners of the Diverse Book Awards 2023 have been announced, with one winner from each of the four categories announced: Picture book, Children... Mae’r cyflwyniad yn esbonio beth ydy golau a sut y mae’r llygad dynol yn ei weld, yn ogystal â’r lliwiau coch, oren, melyn, gwyrdd, glas, indigo a fioled. Mae yna adrannau ar ddu a gwyn, fflworoleuedd, is-goch ac uwchfioled, ac esboniad o sut y mae rhai anifeiliaid yn gallu gweld yn y tywyllwch.

Most of that multicolored light passes through the other side of the raindrop, but some is reflected. The raindrop's spherical curves concentrate those reflections at 138 degrees from the Sun. This concentrated light is bright enough to create a visible primary rainbow.
