$"This can't be real." 🤯 That was our exact reaction too! A pileus cloud with cloud iridescence ignites the sky as sunlight diffracts through tiny, uniform droplets, splitting into vivid spectral colors. Nature’s own prism—no filters, no edits—just physics putting on a show. ☁️✨ | Otherworld Earth$

$91K views · 2.1K reactions | Great example of cloud iridescence today near Daytona Beach. Rising air in a developing thunderstorm can often spread tiny water droplets or ice crystals at the top of the cloud. The thin layer of water/ice can diffract light from the sun causing a rainbow effect.  Victoria Kinder | FOX 13's Paul Dellegatto | Facebook$

$Just after sunset near Flagstaff, Arizona, a storm cloud caught the Sun’s last light in a rare way. Instead of fading into gray, the cloud shimmered with flowing bands of color, like a painted wave suspended in the sky. This wasn’t fire or aurora. It was cloud iridescence — a fleeting optical effect created when sunlight diffracts through tiny ice crystals high in the atmosphere. Moments like this last only seconds. Then the light fades… leaving behind nothing but wonder. | I Love The Universe$
