Click
on the Moonbow Picture above for some Lunar
Lore

The
Moon
bow in Kentucky
usually occurs 2 days before and 2 days after, including the
Full
Moon
if
the
other
conditions are
met.
For a
moonbow
to occur
,
several things must
happen. Good weather, water temperature, sufficient rising
mist, wind speed and direction, water clarity, a clear sky,
water
volume and
some moon light. It may occur before 2 days on or after
certain
Full Moons
or
any
strongly moonlit
night.
Lots of weird and bizarre
science in the United States of America!
The
Full Moon rises at
sunset.

Harvest
and Hunter's Moon
The
Harvest Moon
, the full moon nearest the
autumnal
equinox,
ushers in a period of several successive days when the Moon
rises soon after sunset. This phenomenon gives farmers in
temperate latitudes extra hours of light in which to harvest
their crops before frost and winter. If the
Harvest
Moon falls in
October, the September Full Moon is referred to as the Full
Corn Moon. This year's Harvest Moon is on September 29,
2012
The next Full Moon after Harvest
Moon is called the Hunter's Moon. It is accompanied by a
similar but less marked phenomenon.
Equinoxes for
2012-Equinoxes are days when night and day are of equal

The best
time to see the
moonbow
is just after the moon
has cleared the ridge looming over the falls. It is usually
visible about an hour after night fall beginning two nights
before a full moon. Then, add about 30 minutes for each day,
since the moon, during its phase, rises progressively
later.
