this was an area of study at the meteorology department of my uni. it happens when the sun shines from over the horizon onto the underside of clouds with a lot of ice crystals in them.

which means the first two examples aren’t possible, but the third is. i’ve seen clouds like that, albeit much smaller.

Its sad - i’m too suspicious now to belive anything fancy from the internet anymore…

I have seen this once IRL. It was cool as shit. I took pictures, but the effect didn’t get picked up through the camera :(

❌ Greenhouse gases are cooking the planet.

✅ Fossil fuels are turning the clouds gay!
