Stars, Moonbow and rainbow over Torres del Paine, Patagonia, Chile, by Stéphane Guisard
If you can watch it full screen in HQ - it is well worth it!

From Astronomy Picture of the Day:
"Explanation: Have you ever seen a moonbow? Just as rainbows are lit by the Sun, moonbows are lit by the Moon. Since the Sun is so much brighter than the Moon, sunlit rainbows are much brighter and more commonly seen than moonbows. The above movie captures not only a moonbow, but several rainbows, moving clouds, and the starry sky visible in 2009 February over Patagonia in Chile."
