Hey, still a perfect 10... :D

Offhand, "rainbow clouds" are that way because ice crystals waaaaaaay high up act as little prisms to form those rainbows. Up there, it's c-c-c-cold, so any water crystallises to ice.

That is the commonly accepted theory, yes.

About Kavannah
Kavannah I am an avid skywatcher. I photograph at least twice a day usually dusk and dawn for most images. I have been capturing unusual or uncategorized pictures nearly everyday. I have been diligent about debunking common causes. I can find no correlation with the photos and the weather (ie: humidity levels, temperature, barometric pressure, sunspot activity, electromagnetic earth readings, or even pollen counts).
