Iridescent clouds are those that refract sunlight or moonlight and take on bright violet, green, and pink colors. Sprites are large-scale electrical discharges that occur high above thunderstorm clouds. The glory refers to a circular rainbow-like optical phenomenon that is visible when a person is looking down upon a cloud from an airplane. Coronal clouds are the streamers of gas that project outward from the Sun's corona during a solar eclipse.
