RE: Bizarre Natural Phenomena Vol. 47 - Rainbows In The Night (Moonbows)
Light phenomena are truly brilliant. I was really impressed the first time I saw a rainbow that was very defined in the sense the spectrum of light was mirrored through the rainbow. You could see the normal rainbow seperated almost by a grey band and then another rainbow but with the colour arrangement mirrored. It was very cool!
I wasn't aware of "moonbows", now that would be a sight to see. Now that I know, when conditions are right I will try to see one. I think it will be difficult though. Thank you @ruth-girl for bringing it to our attention.
Hello there! That sight you just described sounds beautiful. The weirdest rainbow I have ever seen is a double one, about a year ago.
Thank you for reading that @physics.bemjamin! :)
@ruth-girl, that was the term I was looking for, a "double rainbow", there is the almost an eiry grey boundary between the two right? and then the red's of each rainbow are next to each other but separated by the grey band. That's what I remember seeing anyway haha. It looked very different to usual ones.
I love Physics for these type of things. The number of incredible phenomena in nature is beyond, I'll tel you something cool to check out if you fancy it. There is something called triboluminescence, a phenomena associated with the high stress in crystal structures, I wrote an article about it before, if you have time check it out, you may find it interesting.

Take care and have a nice day malaka :) (sorry only Greek word i remember from my crazy mates from Athens)
It didn't look exactly like that, I'll have to check on my photos to see if I remember well :P
Yeah, triboluminescence, I 've written about it in a past post only I can't remember now. I'll have a read of yours in a while.
And you just called me an asshole LOL!!!
Lol... hahahaha!
well who could have guessed. of all words in the greek dictionary. ;D
Well written. i had it in mind to research on this topic someday. your work seems to make it a lot easier to understand.
Truth is, i haven't really seen the moonbow before. Maybe someday.
I couldn't help laughing when I read it too!
Cool topic, isn't it? There were so much to write about, but I didn't want to make it too long. Thanks for reading @pangoli! And let's hope we'll see a moonbow sometime...
Oh we sure will. For one, i've had my eyes on Greece for... errr... well, since @trumpman told me about it.
Moonbows, the moon's rainbow!
Kinda wondering why it wasnt termed 'sunbow' instead of rainbow. wait, don't tell me there actually is ''sunbow' :O
Nooooo, is that what it literally means. I'm sorry, now I am embarrassed haha. If anyone's the arse hole here its me, haha. Sono un buco del culo (Italian).
It's a cool effect right, triboluminescence? I tried it by hitting my quartz crystals together, only to break my favourite piece, I was quite upset and just stood there for 1 minute contemplating my stupid mistake.
Looking forward to your next article anyway, keep up the good work :)
I couldn't help laughing when I read it too!
Cool topic, isn't it? There were so much to write about, but I didn't want to make it too long. Thanks for reading @pangoli! And let's hope we'll see a moonbow sometime...
I know but know thinking back to it, i should have known that Yanis and Nikos were telling me silly things to say. I blame them haha.
Yeah maybe @pangoli we will see one one day, for now we are just average rainbow observers. We'll do it bro!
Lol... Someone got pranked! hahahaha!
I do that to my friends a lot ;P
Hehe! No worries, I took no offence. :D
I know, I know, it's really cool. And I remember @erh.germany had suggested covering another similar topic, fire through friction. Maybe I should some time soon. I'm sorry about your quartz :(
I know, I was being silly. That's a good topic to write about actually, remember to warn people about carpet burns, i hated those as a child, burning my knees sliding around.
And thanks, I like my crystals a lot, the planet is filled with quartz but there's one quartz that belonged to Benjamin, now I have to find some more, or maybe it will find me......
Ooh tell me about those burns, last summer I got some in a water slides park :P
No worries, you will find another piece to cover the loss. I'm sure :)
Ouch I'm assuming on a tender area...... Not nice!
I hope so too, thanks :)
I did a post on the rainbow waaaayy back, and i explained why the colours are inverted. wanna see it? i could go pull it right out. hehehe :D I love the blockchain!
Oooh yes please! :D

There you go. this one was done when i was just starting to contribute to the steemstem community. Have a great day dear, Ruth.
Thank you! I'm reading it tonight!! ;)
