| Rainbow at night, full moonlight! |
Well, okay, y'all probably knew all that, right? I was NOT aware though, that we can't really see color at night, even in the moonlight. The color protons don't bounce back at us without good old Mr. Sun. The scientist/photographer went out in the wilderness to this beautiful falls, at night. The moon was full, (I think he worried that the clouds could be a problem) but it came out for some beautiful footage. I was amazed at the rainbow. I thought, if anything, it be washed out or not all there. Sorry about my picture, taking a picture of a TV screen is not always the best. I just wanted to show y'all.
If I could, I would love to try this out during a full moon, with the sprinkler, a spray bottle and somewhere in the yard with no neighbor lights. I do apologize for such a 'little kid's excitement' over something so simple, but I was excited.
Enjoy your Sunday! (Maybe Monday)
I think it would be a fun experiment to do. Not little kid. It's all about expanding the mind
ReplyDeleteI watch a lot of public television, hopefully I can retain some of the information!
DeleteReally educational post. I wasn't aware that we could see a rainbow at night.
ReplyDeleteOnly in the strong moonlight with clear skies for the sun's rays to reflect down and optimum conditions(fine mist).
DeleteI had never thought about colors being protons but that makes sense being as protons make up everything.
ReplyDeleteNot something most people think about.
Deletehadn't really thought about not seeing colors at night or in the sea. that's pretty cool.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I thought so. I love those shows!
DeleteI LOVE PBS and I love learning. Nothing little kid about your post at all. I get excited when I learn new things too! :)
ReplyDeletePBS makes things interesting and fun!
DeleteInteresting post, glad I didn't miss it.
ReplyDeleteVery happy to 'see' you! You doing as well as can be expected?
DeleteI love nature and I love documentaries and TV shows where I can learn something, as I find nature fascinating. Thank you so much for sharing, and your header is lovely! :)
ReplyDeleteThank you for dropping in. We are pretty much 'downhome' here.
DeleteI think that is very interesting. You are correct that usually taking a picture of a TV screen has poor results but your picture is awesomely clear.
ReplyDeleteI was surprised that it was as decent as it was, it usually isn't. :D
DeleteI'd read about that somewhere once, but forgotten.
