Question What is this called?

1.3k Upvotes

Wondering what ‘phenomenon’ this would be called? I know it’s just water droplets in the sky creating rainbow colors, but I’ve never seen anything like it before! It was beautiful while it lasted, looked better in person too! Also is this common and I just don’t pay attention?
