🌈 Iridescent Cloud Corona: Mie Diffraction by Droplets, Ring Radius vs Droplet Size and Mother-of-Pearl Colour
A flat sky view of the coloured corona around the Sun or Moon: ring radius is 1.22 wavelength over droplet diameter, computed from Mie theory with size spread and cloud optical depth, plus live graphs and checks.
