Over the Rainbow

While looking at the Moon last month I saw this hovering arc of Montes Jura, the northern rim of Sinus Iridum (Bay of Rainbows), I thought: Wow that really looks like a rainbow. Could this view have inspired the early lunar observer who gave the Bay of Rainbows its name? And why not, they both hover over Mare Imbrium, the "Sea of Showers."
