Details:
Had used the ISS HD app to click these images. The ISS was flying over the South Pacific and the Sun was rising when I suddenly observed this colorful effect. The nose shaped feature and light dots are lens anomalies that appear at sunrise and sunset. Usually the sun rays are whitish so I never expected this gorgeous color effect which lasted for a few seconds. Wonder what caused it?

the indium tin oxide chemical vapor deposition coating on the observation window. It reflects these nice colors.

The same thing happens on jet cockpit glass.
