    This discussion made me think of the Cheshire Cat:

    The Cat only grinned . . .” “Well! I’ve often seen a cat without a grin,” thought Alice; “but a grin without a cat! It’s the most curious thing I ever saw in all my life!”.

    3D clouds would give indeed a very different view on clouds since perspective is not well seen from the ground level. That’s one of the reasons the appearance of clouds can change so quickly and dramatically. And this lack of perspective makes it in turn inspiring looking up from ground level.to whatever clouds are visible.and how they develop.

    The two suns are fantastic. Is this really seen on planet earth?

    I can recommend the site for atmospheric optical phenomena: atoptics.

    You’ll see an overview of all kinds of spectacular rainbows under which a red bow. You are lucky to spot that one!

    You will find also on this site breathtaking pictures of other optical effects with clear explanations.

    Have fun with it!

    An answer shouldn’t take so long. I see through a hole in the stratocumulus a patch of altocumulus. Nice picture!

    Do you use already the cloudspotter app? It has a library of all types of clouds including optical pheneomna with a clear and often humorous description. It’s fun using it and helps you identify all types of clouds. Success and have fun!

    Thanks David, that might be possible.
    I am curious about the link you mention. Somehow it got lost.

    This is fun indeed. An intriguing face appears in the fine cloud structure. Or is it a lioness?

    Thank you, hygge for your answer. It sounds plausible.

    P.S.: the second picture with the overview shows the leftovers of the eruption-like detail on the top right.
