Yes, but they're noticed much less often, and are called "moonbows". They're

naturally much dimmer than the daytime variety, with colors much less brilliant.

The set-up is the same, with the moon being the source of light. The moon is directly

behind you, in a clear patch of sky, and the air directly in front of you has a lot of

water droplets in it, either from a recent rain, or even a very heavy fog.

The radius of the circular moonbow is 42 degrees, and its center is directly opposite

the moon, exactly as in the daytime rainbow.
