I got to see and photograph my first large Lunar Rainbow, or Moonbow and it was exciting! I am adding all the shots I took so you can see the progression. at the end I am adding a website that is superb for looking up information on all sorts of Atmospheric Optics.

Here is the link for the Atmospheric Optics website “Atoptics”
I am rather fascinated with all such optics, and my collection is growing! My Flickr Set for Atmospheric Optics

Peggy I was pretty excited! And then my much older brother Dennis tells me that in the near early 1950s he and a friend were walking that stretch of road at midnight and saw the same thing!

Pretty new concept! Ground-breaking phenomenon. Hope the word “moonbow” becomes accepted as a standard dictionary term…

Jay that would be cool 🙂 brother Dennis commented on one of the posts that he had seen the same thing back in the early 1950s in the same spot! That was before I was born
