This picture, "Mars and a Colorful Lunar Fog Bow", is one that is surely a memorable picture in the history of my Astronomy blogging. The picture is very stunning, with its display of a smooth and flowing fog cover, with a large rainbow in the foreground and a dazzling night sky in the background. Especially noticeable in the night sky is Mars, which sparkles brighter than any other object in the sky. The most unique aspect of this picture, is actually the rainbow, or rather 'fog bow' as it is actually. While perusing the relevant links to this article, I learned that fog bows are created by light being reflected off thick fog cover (as one might expect). This particular one however, was created by MOONLIGHT being reflected off the fog, which is incredibly rare. Further making this picture a rarity, is the fact that most fog bows appear to be all white with no color. This one however was inexplicably vibrant with color.
