It appeared from 6:57 a.m. to 3:55 p.m. - a total of 8 hours and 58 minutes. It is thought that a seasonal monsoon may have been responsible for keeping it going for so long.
The previous record was set in Yorkshire, UK in 1994 when a rainbow lasted for around 6 hours.
The two scientists, who had originally set out to prove a theory that rainbows descend seven degrees every 30 minutes, are now hoping to earn a place in the Guinness Book of Records.
