Have you ever heard of the myth about the pot of gold that is hidden at the end of a rainbow? It is an old myth that comes from Irish culture. According to the legend, there are small mythical creatures called Leprechauns that collect gold and hide it so that humans have no chance of finding it. One of the Leprechauns’ favourite hiding places is at the end of a rainbow.

So, why would it be so difficult to find something at the end of a rainbow? The reason why it would be impossible to find anything at the end of a rainbow is a little more scientific than the myth itself.
