NASA'S PICTURE FOR THIS DAY

“A Fog Bow Over California” is copyrighted by Mila Zinkova. NASA has permission to show it and we don't, so it isn't on this card.

COSMIC MESSAGE

A fog bow is similar to a rainbow, but appears white or very faintly colored. It forms when sunlight reflects off tiny water droplets in fog. Unlike the larger drops that create a rainbow, these smaller droplets scatter light differently, producing a less colorful arc.
