                                            Wow! This is the first moonbow that we have seen and it’s out there right now! 
A moonbow  is a rare lunar rainbow formed when moonlight, not sunlight, passes through raindrops and bends into color. Because the light is so faint you don’t often see the colours. 
Moonbows need perfect conditions: a nearly full moon, rain or mist opposite the moon, a dark sky, and just the right angle of light.
Moonbows have been known since ancient times. Aristotle mentioned them in Meteorology around 350 BC, and the Greeks associated them with Selene, the goddess of the Moon, who rode her silver chariot across the night sky — leaving trails of light in her wake.
