Nope, looks really cool though. I'll be lucky if I get to see a regular rainbow though.

Yes, but not quite that vivid and sometimes looks more akin to an oil spill in the sky, like the way gasoline puddles do the same with light.

 

I'v also seen a rainbow from a full moon.

 

You can also sometimes see the same spectral scattering of colors around the sun and moon when there's a break in the clouds or just a thin layer, like a colorful halo but the ring is quite a distance away with the sun or moon at the center.

 

Yeah, I look up a lot!

Years ago I saw a white ring around the harvest moon (when it looks unnaturally big and close) and I'll never forget that.
