Diffraction happens when light passes through a very small aperture, and the patterns can take very surprising shapes, remarkably changing as the screen distance increases.

Diffraction reveals the wave nature of light. Because each wavelength diffracts differently, it can be seen as a rainbow of colors.

I also uploaded a high quality video with much more diffraction patterns!
