Rainbow around the moon

#1

Post by RoelaMcD74 »


January 25th 2024 about 7:30 to 8:00 p.m. I started to take pictures of a rainbow around the Moon this is the second one I've seen in a year and reading about them they're pretty rare, everything has to be just right for them, to show up and this one was very vivid. After going back and watching videos I took and checking the pictures I noticed something fly by the top of the Moon about 5 seconds into the video, actually three things so I did a screenshot and what I thought were jets didn't really look like jets in the screenshot can anybody else check it out and see what you think let me know , any input is very appreciated. The clouds were behaving a little strange as well I will post those videos in my next post. Hope you guys enjoy him as much as I have
