#PPOD: Pictured, behind this darker cloud, is a pileus iridescent cloud, a group of water droplets that have a uniformly similar size and so together diffract different colors of sunlight by different amounts. T Also captured were unusual cloud ripples above the pileus cloud. The formation of a rare pileus cloud capping a common cumulus cloud is an indication that the lower cloud is expanding upward and might well develop into a storm. Credit: Jiaqi Sun

Seeing this, I can imagine why people would consider a “rainbow” a “sign of god”.

This represents the release of barbie and openheimer

Every time I park the spaceship behind a cloud, people find out. Darn clouds, stop moving!!!

Looks like a giant jellyfish playing peekaboo :)

That looks like some sort of sci fi atomic bomb
