“Iridescent Clouds over Thamserku” is copyrighted by Oleg Bartunov. NASA has permission to show it and we don't, so it isn't on this card.
See it on NASA's siteIridescent clouds shimmer with color over Thamserku, a peak in the Himalayas. This optical phenomenon occurs when sunlight diffracts through uniform, small water droplets in the clouds. The different colors are scattered at slightly different angles, creating a rainbow-like effect. It requires the Sun to be in a specific position, often hidden behind thicker clouds.
