This photo is titled: “Mars and a Colorful Lunar Fog Bow,” and the main reason that this photo is such a beautiful spectacle is due to the fact that Mars is dazzling bright sitting on the left corner of this photo. About 2 weeks about, Mars was especially noticeable; especially when this photo was taken. The lower potion of this photo is a fog bow. A fog bow is unlike a rainbow, it is created by the moonlight that is reflected by the water drops that are composed by the fog in the atmosphere. This is especially an amazing fog bow because of the rainbow colors found within it. Most fog bows remain white in the sky. However, all the colors of the rainbow where visible in this fogbow, making it similar to a rainbow. This photo was taken on top of Haleakala, which is a volcano in Hawaii. This photo really is amazing. There is so much beauty in this photo, and truly captures the amazing features if you just look up upon the sky.
