TL;DR Summary
Good morning, afternoon or evening, in the morning I encountered the phenomenon of the images where there seem to be two suns and a rainbow joined by two solar rings, the "main" sun has two rings, the secondary one had a very very faint one that the camera did not capture, please could you explain to me why the phenomenon occurs, thank you :).

Looks like 'sun dogs' with the '22° halo'. Maybe the '46° halo' or the 'supralateral arc' as well, seeing how there is a secondary ring. They're all, in general, the effect of sunlight being reflected off of ice crystals in the atmosphere.
Wikipedia has articles on those terms, with pictures and some more detailed explanation given. Have a look there and see if your question is answered to your satisfaction. Also worth checking are the other phenomena in the 'see also' sections of those articles, but I think the ones already mentioned are the most likely culprits.
 
So I know that electrons are fundamental, there's no 'material' that makes them up, it's like talking about a colour itself rather than a car or a flower. Now protons and neutrons and quarks and whatever other stuff is there fundamentally, I want someone to kind of teach me these, I have a lot of questions that books might not give the answer in the way I understand. Thanks
I am attempting to use a Raman TruScan with a 785 nm laser to read a material for identification purposes. The material causes too much fluorescence and doesn’t not produce a good signal. However another lab is able to produce a good signal consistently using the same Raman model and sample material. What would be the reason for the different results between instruments?
