Here’s a rare look at a cloud iridescence spotted in Bacolod City
CLOUD IRIDESCENCE – A resident photographer in Bacolod City caught a glimpse of a “cloud iridescence” or “rainbow clouds”.
According to scijinks.gov, a “cloud iridescence” or “rainbow clouds” happens because of “diffraction” or a phenomenon that occurs when small ice crystals or small water droplets scatter the sun’s light.
On Monday, Bacolod-based photographer Dan Dan posted a series of photos on the Facebook page of Eskapo (stylized as “E s k a p o”) where he caught a glimpse of “cloud iridescence” in an undisclosed location in the city.
According to the photographer, the photos were taken last Sunday, May 14, 2023. He even included an information about “rainbow clouds” in the caption of his post on Eskapo‘s Facebook page.
“A Cloud iridescence view in BACOLOD CITY Yesterday,” the caption reads.
