Iridescent Clouds over Thamserku
NASA APOD · Oleg Bartunov
COSMIC MESSAGE
Iridescent 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.
