True Moonbows
A true moonbow is lit by the Moon itself, not directly by the Sun. In contrast, a colored rainbow (or a white fogbow) seen when the sun is rising or setting, or in twilight, is not a moonbow because it is still produced by sunlight.
Moonbows have been mentioned at least since Aristotle's Meteorology (circa 350 BC), and also in an 1847 publication.

Famous quotes containing the word true:
“The only true madness is loneliness,
the monotonous voice in the skull
that never stops
because never heard.”
—John Montague (b. 1929)
