Moonbow Beach: http://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap140906.html
A rainbow at night? Not quite. It's called a moonbow and it's created when raindrops reflect moonlight from the direction opposite the moon. A rainbow is produced by sunlight reflected in rain drops from the direction opposite the Sun back toward the viewer. This specific moonbow occurred in Hawaii on June 17th, 2014. I love how you can see a lot of stars in this picture along with the moonbow. I also love the bright lights coming from the Oahu on the horizon.
