APOD 2.3






This image shows a chromatic bow being created in Iceland. In this pic there is a waterfall, chromatic bow, and an aurora. In the sky the Big Dipper can be seen which is part of Ursa Major.  It is not a rainbow since the water is from the waterfall and not from rain. The water is being illuminated by the nearly full moon.
