lunar rainbow

Rainbow \Rain"bow`\ (r[=a]n"b[=o]`), n. [AS. regenboga, akin to
   G. regenbogen. See {Rain}, and {Bow} anything bent.]
   A bow or arch exhibiting, in concentric bands, the several
   colors of the spectrum, and formed in the part of the
   hemisphere opposite to the sun by the refraction and
   reflection of the sun's rays in drops of falling rain.
   [1913 Webster]

   Note: Besides the ordinary bow, called also primary rainbow,
         which is formed by two refractions and one reflection,
         there is also another often seen exterior to it, called
         the secondary rainbow, concentric with the first, and
         separated from it by a small interval. It is formed by
         two refractions and two reflections, is much fainter
         than the primary bow, and has its colors arranged in
         the reverse order from those of the latter.
         [1913 Webster]

   {Lunar rainbow}, a fainter arch or rainbow, formed by the
      moon.

   {Marine rainbow}, {Sea bow}, a similar bow seen in the spray
      of waves at sea.
