True rainbows, not iridescence Here’s a collection of photos, and a video, of rainbows made by whales. Atmospheric Optics guru Les Cowley told EarthSky: These are rainbows made by drops from the whale’s blowholes rather than the more usual raindrops. But they are true rainbows, not iridescence like that you see sometimes in clouds. Les told us: Iridescence can be anywhere but it is most common close to the sun. The colors are disordered and pastel. Rainbows (at least the everyday ones!) are opposite the sun. Their colors are always in the order red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet.

Iridescent clouds? Photos of odd, fiery cloud formations circulate on Facebook 144 '); The photos were initially posted by youth group Youth for Mindoro. “Nakunan ng mga netizens sa Mansalay, Oriental Mindoro ang di maipaliwanag na kaganapan sa isang ulap nitong hapon ng Miyerkules, April 14, 2021. Ayon sa mga mga nakakita, isang misteryong liwanag ang nabuo sa itaas ng ulap,” the post read. The photos showed scenic white clouds with mysterious fire-like features on top, resembling an explosion in the sky or a volcanic eruption from far away. These were later re-posted by a weather forecasting page called the Philippine Weather System/Pacific Storm Update, which has over one million followers.
