cheryl.hughson Posted October 17, 2008 Report Share Posted October 17, 2008 Me and my boyfriend were so fortunate enough to witness a Lunar Rainbow in Tresta Voe, stretching from Semblister to Bixter roughly. It happened about 9pm last night (Oct 16th) and was the first time we had ever witnessed such a phenomenon. I googled it and came up with some results (good ol wikipedia) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moonbow I just wondered if anyone else has seen a Moonbow too?

Fjool Posted October 17, 2008 Report Share Posted October 17, 2008 I've seen one before. Weird thing to see; like looking at a monochrome rainbow - but not quite; couldn't tell if the thing actually had colour, or whether I was just imagining those.

Nigel Bridgman-Elliot Posted October 18, 2008 Report Share Posted October 18, 2008 I've always wanted to see one of those. I suppose you can get them in doubles and triples too ? (I've only seen a triple normal rainbow once.) I pondered once it would be nice to have a rainbow making machine, though enquiries suggest I'd need planning permission and it might be illlegally a hazard to planes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
