Seeing a rainbow after the rain always brings a refreshing sense of joy, but how would you feel if you saw four at once? A lucky girl in New York, Curtis, was waiting for a train at the station on the morning of the 21st when she was fortunate enough to witness four beautiful rainbows appearing in the sky.

Curtis spotted this rare spectacle while waiting for a train from Glen Cove railway station to Long Island. She quickly captured the moment with her phone and uploaded it to Twitter, where it was widely shared and left many users amazed. Afterwards, Curtis also expressed her joy, hoping the photo would bring some extra good luck to everyone who saw it. It is reported that the probability of seeing four rainbows simultaneously in the sky is extremely low. In 2011, the science magazine LiveScience stated that there had only been five recorded instances of three or four rainbows appearing together in 250 years.
 

The view outside the window is super dreamy—like a magical rainbow carpet in the sky.
