Recently, I flew from Japan to Saipan...
Looking out the window, I saw a shadow of our plane on the clouds below us. Unusually, it had a halo.

I can only imagine that somehow, the sunlight was being refracted through the plexiglass of the cockpit. In fact, at some angles, the halo showed a rainbow perimeter.
The colors of the sea as we landed in Saipan were heavenly.

And some of the cloudscapes were... celestial.
