Thank you my space-exploration advocate friend Maj William W. 'Bill' Price for posting the September 6, 2022 Astronomy Picture of the Day (APOD): An Iridescent Pileus Cloud over China

Image: An Iridescent Pileus Cloud over China
Image Credit & Copyright: Jiaqi Sun (孙嘉琪)
Explanation: Yes, but how many dark clouds have a multicolored lining? Pictured, behind this darker cloud, is a pileus iridescent cloud, a group of water droplets that have a uniformly similar size and so together diffract different colors of sunlight by different amounts. The featured image was taken last month in Pu'er, Yunnan Province, China. Also captured were unusual cloud ripples above the pileus cloud. The formation of a rare pileus cloud capping a common cumulus cloud is an indication that the lower cloud is expanding upward and might well develop into a storm

Cap is the right term for it Maj William W. 'Bill' Price Instead of a coat of multicolors we have a hat/cap of the same.

I didn't know about this type of cloud, nor have I ever seen one, Maj William W. 'Bill' Price! When you see it in the larger size, it is absolutely awesome, to say the least! Outstanding Post Share, Bill!
