![]() The APOD caption on the NASA website explains: To demonstrate what a real full-circle rainbow looks like, his tweet with this photo is embedded below. On December 27, 2022, NASA's featured Astronomy Picture of the Day (APOD) was a full circle rainbow over Norway taken from a drone by Swiss photographer Lukas Moesch. He emphasized that a person doesn't even need to be in an airplane to see one, that a full circle rainbow can be observed from a high vantage point such as a mountain top. He has seen full-circle rainbows while flying and says they are not as rare as people think. He explained that a colleague had copied and shared the rainbow image on social media and he did the same, but he did not take the photo. Lead Stories reached out to Ferraro through his aviation company website and spoke to him on the phone on March 1, 2023. The caption of the " David Attenborough Club" post opened: Posts from the Facebook pages " Planet Earth" and " David Attenborough Club" link to an article published on February 26, 2023, on hasanjasim.online (archived here) which was titled, "Rainbow at 30,000 Feet: Pilot's Photo Captures Rare and Breathtaking Sight". One of these images began to circulate on social media on February 25, 2023. The post was captioned "❣️ Rainbow halo ❣️". All of the images have a small watermark in the lower right corner featuring the logo of the Chinese social marketing app Little Red Book. On February 5, 2023, a collection of five photos was posted on the Facebook group "Beautiful Nature". Ferraro, the pilot who has been incorrectly credited for taking the photo, clarified to Lead Stories that he copied and shared the image, but it was not a photo he took. Several key features present in real rainbows are missing from this image. ![]() Did a pilot capture a photo of a complete full-circle rainbow while flying 30,000 feet over the Pacific Ocean? No, that's not true: This image is not a real photograph - it's a fabricated image.
