If you've read this blog before, then all I really need to tell you is that Thierry Legault took a picture.
See? While in Queensland, Australia, Thierry took this shot of Wallaman Falls. While the Milky Way shone down, a meteor zipped past, adding to the drama. But what's that at the bottom? A rainbow? At night? Yup. Well, kinda. It's a Moonbow, the same thing as a rainbow but with the Moon as the light source. Well, and it's not raindrops that cause it, but aerosolized water droplets acting as little prisms, breaking the light up into the usual colors. Moonbows are very faint, but they show up in long exposures like this one. Leave it to Thierry to not be satisfied with just our galaxy, a bit of interplanetary debris vaporizing, and a waterfall in his shot. Amazing. He has more pictures from that trip, and yeah, you ...
