Read full article: What do you call a rainbow with no color? One was spotted recently over GalvestonA fogbow forms the same way a rainbow does, light bends, reflects, and scatters through water droplets, but there is a key difference.

ASK ANTHONY: Why is wind direction identified as where it is coming from?
Read full article: ASK ANTHONY: Why is wind direction identified as where it is coming from?Did you know weather vanes have been keeping us in the know about wind direction for more than 2,000 years? The first known weather vane was installed in 48 BC on top of the Tower of the Winds in Athens, Greece. Fast forward to the Middle Ages, and weather vanes started popping up on churches across Europe. The most popular design? The good old rooster. Here’s the cool part: the arrow on a weather vane points to the direction the wind is coming from. So, if it’s pointing north, the wind is blowing from the north. That’s why we call it a “north wind”! Simple, but brilliant.
