Please ignore some of the comments posted on the page beneath the pictures though! I'm sure you'll soon work out which ones I mean


* not has some have suggested nacreous clouds. More examples of iridescence - which in less spectacular forms is actually quite common, if you know where and when to look - can be seen here

Very cool pics! Thank you

The Daily Mail does come under a lot of criticism in the UK due to misleading stories, but they do also have a habit of finding some incredible photos
