H0110 Halo Lunar halo, Solar halo Group of optical phenomena, in the form of rings, arcs, pillars or bright spots, produced by the refraction or reflection of light by ice crystals suspended in the atmosphere (cirriform clouds, ice fog, etc.).

Lunar halo orbit Space planners at Lockheed Martin Space Systems in Denver proposed using their Orion capsule to support an L2 farside moon mission one that allows an astronaut crew to have continuous line-of-sight visibility to both the entire far side of the moon and Earth.
