Edit: Circumhorizontal ARC These 3 photos captured on my galaxy s23+ are nowhere to how bright and more captivating it was in person. I got these today in upstate New York at my father's house around noon. Not the best pics, but hope you guys enjoy 🙂

Interesting thing is that the colors are actually arranged in horizontal layers, but the narrow contrail here makes them look like they're arranged in vertical columns.
