Moonbows are less common than rainbows because they require a bright moon, clear skies, and water droplets (like mist from a waterfall) to be present! #moonbow #yosemitenationalpark #yosemitefalls #yosemite #yosemitevalley | Mark Bouldoukian Photography | Facebook

Follow @physics_unplugged | video description 👇 A moonbow is a rare natural phenomenon that occurs when moonlight is refracted and dispersed by water droplets in the air, creating a rainbow colored arc in the night sky. Moonbows are typically seen in areas with high levels of moisture and a bright enough moon. They are much fainter and less vivid than regular rainbows because moonlight is not as bright as sunlight.
