Moonbows

Today on Wonder, we’re traveling to a lush rainforest to catch a glimpse of one of the world's most enchanting phenomena: moonbows. There are only a handful of places on Earth where the conditions are just right for these delicate visions to appear, and this spot, on the border between Zambia and Zimbabwe, is one of them. On clear nights when the moon is at its brightest, these nocturnal rainbows – moonbows – can appear in the spray of the majestic Victoria Falls. Many cultures around the world believe they are signs of good fortune from the celestial realm. Now, it's time for a moment of serenity. Leave the everyday stresses behind to travel over the dense rainforest, with only the moon for company. Put on your headphones, close your eyes, and take five minutes to yourself — to breathe, learn, and wonder.  This is Wonder, a weekly five-minute audio experience designed to transport you far away from the chaos of everyday life.
