I think I've created a cloud chamber with my honey tea

Context: I'm on vacation in the mountains at high altitude (~2700m). I woke up this morning to make myself some honey tea.

As I set my bowl on the table in the sun, I began to see streaks appear on the surface of the tea and immediately thought of a cloud chamber. Being at high altitude, I'm more exposed to space radiation, so I thought that might explain the large number of streaks.

But maybe I'm wrong and it's a completely different phenomenon, so I'd like your opinion.
