Details:
A lucky rare "Twinned Rainbow" on Friday the 13th!
This not a Double Rainbow.
In a single bow, Light entering a raindrop is broken into colors as in a prism, then the scattered colors are reflected out from the back of the drop.
In the upper arc of a Double Rainbow, the light is reflected twice inside the raindrop before it is emitted, so the order of colors is reversed.
A "Twinned Rainbow" is 2 separate single rainbows. Raindrops of 2 different sizes create each bow.
