CLOUD IRIDENSCENCE!

Cloud iridescence is the occurrence of colors in a cloud similar to those seen in oil films on puddles, located in the general vicinity of the sun or moon. It is a fairly common phenomenon, most often observed in altocumulus, cirrocumulus, lenticular clouds, and cirrus clouds.

WOW!  So exciting to know (and to actually see)!  I’m on the lookout for it now.  

Maybe you can see some in your part of the world also!
