Details:
This cloud displayed rainbow-like colors due to a phenomenon known as iridescence: sunlight, already low on the horizon, is diffracted as it passes through tiny water droplets or ice crystals within the cloud.
It occurs under very specific conditions and lasts only a few minutes, making it even more special—an ephemeral moment where physics and beauty meet, gifting us a sky that looks as if it were painted by hand.
