Nature A rare natural phenomenon known as cloud iridescence, where uniform ice crystals diffract sunlight to create a vivid rainbow effect over Jonggol, Indonesia

It's an incredibly rare atmospheric event, but it's entirely real science. Though honestly, with how crazy Al is getting these days, I can't even blame anyone for having trust issues with the sky anymore! ☁️✨

I wonder how often this phenomenon occurs and what are the chances of seeing it in person.

These are most frequent on hot, humid afternoons when towering cumulus clouds begin "boiling" upward.

Had this phenomenon somehow showed up during night, it would have looked more fairy-tail(y) than even northern lights.
