If you were like me when I first saw the word MOONBOW then your probably wondering, what the heck is that?!? Well it's actually pretty cool! After is rains, and the sun comes out, what do we see? A RAINBOW!!! But when it becomes dark and the moon comes out, you wouldn't usally see a rainbow, but you might see a MOONBOW!!! Just like rays make RAINBOWS during the day, the reflected light towards the moon makes a MOONBOW! Although a MOONBOW has to have just the right light to appear. The moon doesn't produce too much light so it can't do much. For example: it has to be VERY dark and the moon has to be VERY low in the sky. (less than 42 degrees above the horizon) Thats crazy right!?! Even though a MOONBOW is rare, it will tend to appear frequently in the same places. More examples: Near a waterfall or near a thick layer of mist. Hope all of this makes you want to see a MOONBOW desperately because, I sure do!! Lucky for you, I will supply a picture. :D See you later! Anna out.
