I find it fascinating how this glint from the sun appears multiple times at the top edge. The gaps get smaller towards the edge. There's probably some beautiful math formula for this involving the golden ratio.
I'm no lightologist - But I think the two different colors and inversion is seeing the reflection on the outside of the bubble on one hemisphere, and THROUGH the bubble to the inside surface of the opposite side.
So very cool.
Bonus pics from the same session:
It looks like a portal to Narnia lol
It looks like a wardrobe?
There were other entrances to Narnia besides the wardrobe! The wardrobe was just in that one book! 🤓
I appreciate the wholesomeness of the Narnia reference against your username lol.
Do you have a bubble recipe? I played around with this a decade ago
I use one from a random site I googled last year when I was playing with a rope style bubble wand.

Thank you! I recall using dawn pro, but not much else.
You seem to have created a pocket universe where it is both night and day simulatenously.
