What is a moonbow?

 Published On Apr 16, 2022

In this video, we, the Robinson Twins, answer the question, what is a moonbow? We demonstrate how you can create a rainbow using a garden hose and sunlight and then how you can create a moonbow using a garden hose and the nearly full moon. We include photos and timelapse videos of some of the moonbows we've seen in Yosemite Falls in Yosemite National Park, which is where we first learned of moonbows.

Besides Yosemite Falls, other places where visitors can see moonbows are in the Cumberland Falls in Kentucky and Victoria Falls in Africa.

Check out our earlier postings of moonbow timelapse videos in Yosemite.
