An iridescent cloud over Colorado. End of the world? Perhaps. But perhaps not. Actually- probably not. Iridescent clouds are formed of small water droplets of roughly the same size. The inner clouds greatly diffract sunlight in a coherent manner. (Or close to.) This happens most readily when the sun is behind thick clouds. Overall the phenomena is rare.
