As far as we can tell, no. There is no source of "liquid". Although it is to be believed that there possibly is rainbows on one of Saturn's 62 moons, Titan, but you might need infared goggles to see such, the liquid there is methane. There are also "moonbows", or lunar rainbows, that are produced by light refracted off of the Moon's surface instead of the Sun's. Because the Moon is so much less brighter than the Sun, moonbows are very faint, and like rainbows are on the opposite side of the Moon.
Moonbows are truly white, and are very difficult for the human eye to see, yet can be captured by long exposure photography. In order for this to occur the Moon must be very close to a full moon stage, have a high amount of precipitaion (this occurs most often in waterfalls, for the weather is not very permitting), and it should be very dark. It is difficult to meet all of this criteria in one location to view one of these miraculous "bows" of nature, for it is very rare.
There are also halos that can appear around the moon. They simply look like a ring of light around the Moon, but are oftenly mistaken for moonbows. Unlike moonbows, the 22 degree halo that forms around the Moon is created by refraction of tiny ice crystal, and is in the sky. The colors of this halo consist of a red outer ring and a light on the inner side. Halos can also form near the Sun, in the sky, and even around lighted objects on Earth when it is cold and there are ice crystals in the air.
Well, whats funny is that i did a post on Moonbows also! so this is what I know:The moon is the key, just as sunlight produces rainbows during the day, moonlight can produce rainbows at night. This is a lunar rainbow or 'moonbow'.
ReplyDeleteMoonbows are rare because moonlight is not very bright. A bright moon near to full is needed, it must be raining opposite the moon, the sky must be dark and the moon must be less than 42º high. Put all these together and you do not get to see a Moonbow very often! "To the unaided eye they usually appear, as in the small image, without color because their light is not bright enough to Therefore, colors have been reported and might be seen when the moon is bright."
