Scientific paper
WET Mountain Valley in Colorado is situated some 8000 feet above the sea, and is surrounded by mountains, the Sangre de Cristo Range, on the western side, rising to some 14,000 feet in its highest peaks. For the last few days we have had a succession of thunderstorms-dark clouds pouring forth abundant rain-which have mostly swept along the range, leaving the valley clear, and often in sunshine. Last night, at 9 p.m., there passed just such a storm, while the full moon shone brightly from the east, where it had just risen. The result was a lunar rainbow-part only of the arc, a distinct band of light, in which the several colours were hardly to be observed. The phenomenon, which was new to me and must surely be rare, lasted only about a quarter of an hour, when the storm passed on.
