Moonbows at Yosemite

While most think about rainbows as a daytime event, they can also occur at night. According to the Guardian, moonbows, or lunar rainbows, are created when moonlight passes through a fine spray."It has its own romantic and beautiful sense to it," says Yosemite Park Ranger Bob Roney in the video above.

Moonbows usually happen near waterfalls. They are more faint than rainbows, and are best viewed during a full moon. One of the best spots to see them, according to the Guardian, is Victoria Falls in Zambia. They can also be found at Yosemite National Park, which is known for its rainbows and double rainbows. According to the video, they can be viewed at all of the parks falls, you just have to be there at the right time."A lot of people don't realize we even get rainbows at night in Yosemite," says filmmaker Steve Bumgardner."You get the rainbow without the storm."

Hundreds of photographers now flock to one of the falls at Yosemite to capture the phenomenon, and the popularity is growing. If you think moonbows are awesome, try not to get too excited by the news that double moonbows also exist.
