APOD: Iridescent Clouds from the Top of... (2011 Feb 08)

3 whole posts about brightly colored clouds and no contrail conspiracy theorists discussing chemicals being illicitly distributed to the public by the government? This is some kind of record! I guess the LSD injection system of the Rolls Royce turbine engine is a pretty well guarded secret after all.

It's no longer a well guarded secret now that it has been revealed!

PS. It's an excellent and colourful image.

So, the clouds are hallucinating?

This APOD reminded me of a couple of pictures i took a little while ago when everything had a thin coat of ice on it.

This first one looks rather normal.

The second one was taken right after but at a slightly different angle.

Do you suppose that i encountered the same Iridescent effect in ice?

Ya, the ice on the camera lens!

It is only logical that it must have been so.

Indeed. Any other answer would have been most illogical.
