00:00Good evening, Kapuso! I am your Kuya Kim, who will give you the trivia behind the trending news.
00:10If this is the color of our skin tonight, because did you know that there is also a rainbow at night?
00:15This is what we saw around our moon, a moonbow.
00:21Jesse really likes to connect with nature and literature.
00:27The sky in their town in Malimono, Surigao del Norte.
00:30Very mindful, very demure.
00:32I really like to shoot moons on August 19.
00:35I really have a picture of a big moon because I use a DSLR.
00:39But he said that he reached the sky where he took a picture once.
00:42When I looked up, I saw the moon next to it, the rainbow.
00:46I took my cell phone to take a picture there.
00:49The dark sky is just a reflection of a very cutesy and very colorful rainbow around the moon, a moonbow.
00:57It's my first time to see a rainbow every night.
01:01Kuya Kim, how does a moonbow form?
01:04Kuya Kim, what now?
01:05Kuya Kim, what now?
01:07Not all the time, rainbows are seen during the day.
01:10Sometimes, there are also rainbows at night because around the moon, they are called moonbows.
01:15The moonbow is an optical phenomenon where the light coming from the moon refracts to the water vapor seen in the atmosphere.
01:22To form a moonbow, there are specific conditions that are required.
01:25The observer should usually be facing the moon.
01:28And the moon has an angle of 42 degrees to the horizon.
01:33On the other side of the horizon, there should be enough water vapor or water droplets.
01:38If the moonlight is enough, usually near full moon or full moon,
01:42the possibility of a moonbow is greater.
01:45Jessie saw a moonbow last night, August 20,
01:48because she saw the supermoon, blue moon, on this August 19.
01:51Because its location is the closest to Earth, the moonbow is more visible with the naked eye.
01:57But when we look at moonbows, they are usually white.
02:01And the color of the moonbow is more visible in long exposure pictures.
02:04The reason why the color of the moonbow is less intense compared to solar rainbows
02:08is because the light coming from the sun is stronger than the light reflected by the moon.
02:14But moonbows are not the only rare and colorful phenomenon in our sky at night.
02:25Sometimes, our moon turns red.
02:29This is called a blood moon.
02:31This happens when our moon is in a total lunar eclipse or when the moon is passing through the Earth's anino.
02:38The last total lunar eclipse happened in November 2022.
02:42That's why it's called a beaver blood moon.
02:45The next blood moon will be seen in March 2025.
