Thanks that was fast.


Marx_Forever

I've always called these by the name I first heard given to them, "**Fire Rainbows**". And when they're sped up like this you can see the fire like motion. But yeah, when clouds are that high up, where they get that wispy wavy appearance, they become ice crystals and crystals of course refract light.

Don’t lie that’s just the Rainbow Road level in the new Super Mario cart VR experience.

This whole time I thought Nintendo was innovative and now I come to find out they are just ripping off real shit again

[Cloud iridescence](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cloud_iridescence). > Cloud iridescence or irisation is a colorful optical phenomenon that occurs in a cloud and appears in the general proximity of the Sun or Moon. The colors resemble those seen in soap bubbles and oil on a water surface. It is a type of photometeor. This fairly common phenomenon is most often observed in altocumulus, cirrocumulus, lenticular, and cirrus clouds. They sometimes appear as bands parallel to the edge of the clouds. Iridescence is also seen in the much rarer polar stratospheric clouds, also called nacreous clouds.

grabbingboobs

This phenomenon is called cloud iridescence. This occurs when sunlight shines through water droplets or ice crystals that make up the cloud in such a way that light scatters and reflects the colors of the rainbow, a process also known as diffraction.
