Midnight moonbow over our house (September 11-12, 2019)

moonbow (also known as a lunar rainbow or white rainbow) is a rainbow produced by moonlight rather than direct sunlight. Moonbows are much fainter than solar rainbows, due to the smaller amount of light reflected from the surface of the moon.  I took this photo with my Samsung Galaxy S10+ on the "night" setting.

Tom used the telephoto lens on his Nikon for this photo.  We were amazed that, with all the cloud cover, the moon was clearly visible.  The moon would be full two nights later, on Friday the 13th.
