Moonbows - Much like rainbows, these colorful nocturnal arches occur when light (from the moon, in this case) reflects and refracts off water droplets in the sky. But moonbows are much more rare than rainbows—the natural phenomenon happens only when the moon is very low, the sky is dark, and rain is falling opposite the moon

Some might mistake a waterspout for a tornado moving over a body of water, but in reality, a waterspout in a type of cloud. They are rotating columns of air over water and are much weaker than tornados. They mainly occur in tropical and subtropical climates.

The "deep blue sea"—and our "blue planet" along with it!—owe their iconic color to the light of the sun. When the sun shines on the ocean, the water absorbs the longer red and orange wavelengths of light while reflecting blue light back. This will only happen, though, with a large amount of water; the more water you have, the bluer it is. This is why the water you drink out of a glass doesn't appear ocean-blue. This process of light absorption and reflection is also the reason the sky is blue—but the blue color of the ocean is not because it's reflecting the color of the sky, as many people believe

The Atlas moth has two snake eyes on its wings to scare off predators. When they sense that something is coming to attack they open their wings and the predator backs off.

While this natural wonder is very deep, from certain angles it looks like it goes all the way to the dark center of the earth. Jacob's Well, located outside of Austin, Texas, is a great place to cool off in the hot summers, but can also be dangerous for those that dare to explore the cave below.

There's something you don't see very often; a Boss 302 with no rear spoiler. I like it!
