ALOHA!
Do you know "Moonbow"?
A moonbow (also known as a lunar rainbow, lunar bow or white rainbow) is a rainbow produced by light reflected off the surface of the moon rather than from direct sunlight.
This picture was taken at Maui Island.
It is difficult for the human eye to discern colors in a moonbow because the light is usually too faint to excite the cone color receptors in human eyes. As a result, they often appear to be white.
However, the colors in a moonbow do appear in long exposure photographs.
Few places in the world frequently feature this phenomenon.
Maui Island is one of them.
It is said that if you saw a moonbow, luck will visit you!
Have a good day!
ALOHA!
月虹（げっこう）をご存知でしょうか？
月虹とは、夜間に月の光によって生じる虹のことです。
この写真はマウイ島で撮影されました。
色が本当に薄いので人間の目には白にしか見えないそうです。
ですが、長時間露光をした写真には色がはっきりと写ります。
世界中のわずかな地域でよく月虹が観測されます。
ハワイのマウイ島もその一つです。
月虹を見ると幸せになれるそうですよ！
よい一日をお過ごしください！
