Rainbow created by supersonic jet

FA/18 Compression Wave
(click on image for larger version)

The rainbow is created by the condensation of water vapor droplets . This condensation is only created by a drop in local pressure.
Condensation caused by the Prandtl-Glauert singularity can be seen in steady level flight usually at low altitude under humid conditions.
