I see a distinct lack of rainbows in those streams.
There's actually a good reason for that.
Notice the shadow of the ships. Those shadows generally point in the direction of the aircraft taking the photo. This means the sun is generally forward of the photographer.
You can only see a rainbow when the sun is at your back.
I'm certain that if this photo were taken from the other side of the rig there would be a rainbow....which is probably something the photographer new and wanted to avoid for the sake of taking a clear picture of the site.
