Happy birthday my love! - a photo on Flickriver

            You are my friend, husband and loving companion specially now in this terrible time that we are living. God bless you always.

Iridescent clouds, known as "fire rainbows" or "rainbow clouds," occur when sunlight diffracts off water droplets in the atmosphere. And the recipe for these heavenly sights is actually pretty simple.

What happens is that the cumulus cloud, boiling upwards, pushes the air layers above it higher and higher. As the air gets pushed upwards, it expands and cools. And sometimes moisture in that air suddenly condenses into tiny droplets to form a cap cloud.

This "cap"—which scientists call a "pileus"—is the source of the brilliant spectacle.

The droplets in the cap cloud scatter sunlight to form the gorgeous colors.
