Just eight days ago, I gave a popular science talk at mpi_grav@academiccloud.social about colorful phenomena in the sky, and now – boom!

Just minutes ago, there were beautiful iridescent clouds (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cloud_ir…) here, north of Hanover, Germany.

Here, light is diffracted by tiny droplets in the clouds, creating these typical mother-of-pearl colors.
