A moonbow (also known as a lunar rainbow, lunar bow or white rainbow) is a rainbow produced by the moon rather than the sun. Moonbows are relatively faint, due to the smaller amount of light from the Moon. They are always in the opposite part of the sky from the moon.
It is difficult to discern colours in a moonbow because the light is usually too faint to excite the cone colour receptors in our eyes. As a result, they often appear to be white.[1] However, the colours in a moonbow do appear in long exposure photographs.
A coloured circle around the moon is not a moonbowit is usually a 22° halo produced by refraction through hexagonal ice crystals in cirrus cloud. Coloured rings close to the moon are a corona, a diffraction phenomenon produced by very small water droplets or ice crystals in clouds.
Moonbows are most easily viewed when the moon is near to full (when it is brightest). For other than those produced by waterfalls, the moon must be low in the sky (less than 42 degrees and preferably lower) and the sky must be dark. And of course there must be rain falling opposite the moon. This combination of requirements makes moonbows much more rare than rainbows produced by the sun.
There have been rare instances of rainbows appearing around the moon itself in foggy weather.
- Famous natural moonbow locations
Few places in the world frequently feature this phenomenon. Cumberland Falls[2], near Williamsburg [1], Kentucky], Kentucky, U.S.A.; Waimea, Hawaii; and Victoria Falls on the border between Zambia and Zimbabwe are widely known for moonbow occurrence.
Moonbows are commonly reported in Yosemite National Park in the United States as a result of the numerous waterfalls in the area, particularly during spring run-off of melting snow.[3]
CB, het is dus best mogelijk dat wij de kleur van de maanboog wel gezien hebben terwijl de anderen met hun inferieure kleurreceptoren in hun vaalbleke, kleurloze wereld ronddwaalden, tevergeefs speurend naar een vleugje chromatiek...
