Entry: Moonbows - A1111942

Ok, here's my second try.

Sounds intriguingly beautiful.

I'm puzzled by your third paragraph where you say moonbows can only be seen near moonrise or moonset when the sun is very low in the sky. Is that meant to read "when the moon is very low" ?

oops, my mistake. Thanks, that was exactly what I meant

Short and sweet.

Might be good to have a link on moonbows:

http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/ap010704.html This one is especially good.

Thanks for the great links. I'll be sure to include those

Hey, nice guide entry . I had never heard of these, let alone seen one.

Nice entry

The first sentence of each section is quite similar - maybe benefit from altering one (certainly I would suggest replacing the words 'occurs regularly' with just 'occurs' in the first sentence, as I think 'regularly' is a little redundant)

You could also link to the existing EG entry on Rainbows A155837, though it was first published in 1999 when guidelines differed on what was allowable (thus coloured text ), and it could be usefully updated to include some of the conversations made.

Thanks

I just want to say that I'm going to leave "occur regularly" the way it is. I wanted to say that moonbows only occure dependably in a very small number of places. There are other places where they can occur but it would be very rare.

Interesting. Would you like to expand on why we see moonbows as white rather than colour? Perhaps a sentence or two on the fact that the colour receivers in our eyes switch off at very low light levels. Other than that, I think this is great.

Yeah, I think that might be a good idea

Hello there, and congrats on a concise but informative entry. A Scout is champing at the bit to recommend this one, but we just need the go-ahead from you. Let us know if you need more time or if you're happy with it as is.

I'm pretty happy with the way it is. I would be very happy to have it included in the edited guide.

Your Guide Entry has just been picked from Peer Review by one of our Scouts, and is now heading off into the Editorial Process, which ends with publication in the Edited Guide. We've therefore moved this Review Conversation out of Peer Review and to the entry itself.

If you'd like to know what happens now, check out the page on 'What Happens after your Entry has been Recommended?' at EditedGuide-Process. We hope this explains everything.

Thanks for contributing to the Edited Guide!

Making a by throwing in the air. Well Done

Woo hoo!

I had to recommend this one *twice* (hence the chomping at the bit part above), but I knew it would get in eventually!

Got there in the end though.
Well done The Regular
