FORT WORTH, Texas — Orange, pinks, and purple clouds swirled during Tuesday's sunset in North Texas, stopping people in their tracks.
Dozens of people sent in their photos from Euless, Richardson, Saginaw and Weatherford.
So what caused this? Meteorologist Greg Fields broke it down for us.
There were lots of cirrus clouds, which are thin and wispy and made of ice crystals that originate from supercooled water droplets. They typically develop high in the sky -- about 20,000 feet. They make the sunlight bend and refract, causing the sky to glow.
