"We have installed a camera to observe and collect images of the night sky in Abisko. Despite having 10 years of experience in ultra-light photography, this is the first time I have encountered an aurora appearing with Rainbow Face Moon is a very special experience , " Blakeley said.

The Moon Rainbow, or night rainbow, appears when the moonlight is refracted by particles of rainwater suspended in the air. This is a rare natural phenomenon because it requires a combination of factors such as the full moon at a position lower than 42 °, the night sky must be very dark and rain is needed on the opposite side of the Moon.

In addition, the phenomenon is very difficult to observe because moonlight has much weaker intensity than sunlight. With the naked eye, the viewer only sees a white color when the moon rainbow appears. Their full color can only be observed in long exposure photographs.

The moon rainbow image that appears in Abisko becomes more and more magical when embellished with bright blue aurora bands on the starry sky behind.
