The colors appear when sunlight scatters through microscopic ice crystals at the cloud’s upper boundary, producing a spectrum similar to a rainbow but formed by diffraction, not rain. What looks dramatic is simply the physics of light interacting with a rapidly rising storm column at sunset. | AstroNature | Facebook

A towering supercell cloud rising over the Grand Canyon, exploding with lightning as if the Earth itself were exhaling energy. What you’re seeing isn’t a nuclear event or a digital illusion… It’s an anvil cumulonimbus so massive, it resembles a volcanic eruption — but made entirely of vapor, wind . Meteorologists call this a “mesoscale convective system,” but for everyone who witnesses it ... it feels like a divine spectacle. 📍 Shot over the Grand Canyon | AstroNature
