Rainbows In The Dark

[JRMcLeod]

Hi Everyone,

I was driving home at about 915pm tonight, it is a full moon outside and as i approached my house the rain came on, i drove over the hill and to my amazement i saw a rainbow, the exact shape it would be during the day except slightly duller.

Has anyone else seen this before?

I was goin to stop and take a picture but my phone camera wasnt good enough to pick it up!

Any photos would be great if anyone else has seen this!!

Funny that, i suppose it must be possible if you have the shower and bright moonlight?

Ah, a moonbow. Quite rare, and I've never seen one. Another to look out for is a fogbow at this time of year. I saw my first one last year.
