Lunar rainbows captured during full moon in Yosemite National Park
Lunar rainbows formed in the waterfalls at Yosemite National Park during the full moon over the weekend.

YOSEMITE NATIONAL PARK, Calif. -- If you've spent any time visiting Yosemite National Park, you know just how beautiful it can be.

This past weekend, a photographer captured this stunning video of lunar rainbows forming in the waterfalls during the full moon.

Lunar rainbows are caused when the moonlight refracts through water droplets in the air.

A combination of real-time video and timelapse shots captured the trailing stars on a full moon night.
