Cloudwatch: Iridescence over Ethiopia

By tigtog on 2011-08-29

A dark cloud over a forest scene - above and behind it is a brightly lit cloud showing bright rainbow colours
Explanation at Astronomy Picture of the Day.

I’ve seen many clouds with faint iridescence before, and even a few where the play of colours was remarkably clear, but never anything quite as vivid as this!
