True rainbows, not iridescence
Here’s a collection of photos, and a video, of rainbows made by whales. Atmospheric Optics guru Les Cowley told EarthSky:
These are rainbows made by drops from the whale’s blowholes rather than the more usual raindrops.
But they
are true rainbows, not iridescence like that you see sometimes in clouds. Les told us:
Iridescence can be anywhere but it is most common close to the sun. The colors are disordered and pastel.
Rainbows (at least the everyday ones!) are opposite the sun. Their colors are always in the order red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet.
