The picture was taken in the wild field between the towns of Skipton and Keighly, when Gwynne was shooting the Super Moon scene, which happens when the full moon is closer to Earth than usual.

"This is the first time I've seen the Moon Rainbow. It looks very strange and wonderful," Ben Gwynne wrote on Facebook.

Like a regular rainbow, Rainbow Moon appears when light is refracted from water particles suspended in the air. The difference is that the Moon does not emit light itself. Therefore, it is light from the Sun that reflects on the surface of the Moon and refracts water particles in the air.

Rainbow Moon is lighter than a normal rainbow by weaker moonlight than sunlight. Its color is difficult to see with the naked eye, but it can appear in exposure shots.
