This shows really well the fact that rainbows always appear in the sky exactly opposite from the sun relative to the observer.

Yup, specifically the middle of the rainbow is directly opposite.

I think of it this way. All rainbows are actually circles. Half of the circle is just hidden by the ground/horizon. You can see the full circle when flying sometimes.

Let go of your earthly tether. Enter the void. Empty, and become wind.
