Strange cloud phenomenon appears in the sky of Darwin, northern Australia.

Many social network users make different assumptions about light sources, some even claim that they are aliens or unidentified flying objects.

However, experts said, the beautiful scene formed by a rare phenomenon called "".

This natural phenomenon rarely occurs because it depends on a combination of specific conditions.

Peter Markworth, a meteorologist at the Australian Bureau of Meteorology, told News.com.au: "This is a five-color cloud phenomenon. This natural phenomenon rarely occurs because of relying on many combinations. specific conditions ".

Science explains the five colors of clouds created by diffraction phenomenon .

When illuminated by the Sun, small drops of water or small ice crystals in the cloud scatter white light, while large ice crystals create a halo with colors like rainbow.

To put it simply, when light penetrates vertically through the upper face and comes out on the bottom face, it is refracted, as if light passes through a prism.

The five-color cloud image is recorded at the top of Mount Everest.

If twisted ice crystals are lined up properly, the whole cloud will radiate a color spectrum that looks like a beautiful rainbow cloud.

The phenomenon of five-color cloud is similar to that. However, rainbows and sunlight need rain, and iridescent clouds need only the right angle between the cloud and the sun.
