Thousands of rainbows played in the ice crystals, and the sun was surrounded by multi-colored halo.

The luminous ring (nimbus) visible, as a rule, around the Sun or the Moon, and sometimes around other powerful sources is called a halo. There are many types of halo, but they are mainly caused by ice crystals in cirrus clouds at a height of 5-10 km in the upper troposphere.

The shape of the observed halo depends on the shape and location of the crystals. The light reflected and refracted by ice crystals is often decomposed into a spectrum, which makes the halo look like a rainbow, but the halo in low light conditions has a low color, which is associated with the features of twilight vision.

In the old days, various halos, like other celestial phenomena, were attributed the mystical meaning of signs (usually bad, especially if the halo took a cruciform shape, which was interpreted as a cross or a sword, or twins of the luminary appeared), which is known a lot of chronicle evidence. So in the "Word of Igor's Campaign" it is said that before the offensive of the Polovtsy and the capture of Igor, "four suns shone over the Russian land", which was perceived as a sign of impending great trouble. And in 1551, after a long siege by the troops of Emperor Charles V of the German city of Magdeburg, a halo with false suns appeared in the sky above the city. This caused a stir among the besiegers. Since the halo was perceived as a "heavenly sign" in defense of the besieged, Charles V ordered the siege of the city to be lifted. (Photo: yoshkas_cat/Volgodonsk)

In the days when meteorology did not exist, the halo and similar optical phenomena were used to predict the weather. For example, Russian folk signs say that the appearance around the moon of such bright rings, arcs, spots, pillars - to rain, and Chuvash - to a cold snap (usually in winter).

A major contribution to the study and systematization of the halo was made by the Dutch astronomer Marcel Minnart.

Halos should be distinguished from crowns. The latter have a smaller angular size (up to 5°) and are explained by the diffraction scattering of the rays of the light source by water droplets that form a cloud or fog.
