Hypotheses
Halo
Halo usually appears around the Sun or moon, sometimes around other powerful light sources such as street lights. There are many types of halos, but they are mostly caused by ice crystals in Cirrus clouds at a height of 5-10 km in the upper troposphere. The form of the observed halo depends on the shape and arrangement of crystals. Reflected and refracted by the ice crystals, the light often turns into a spectrum, which makes halo look like a rainbow, but a halo in low light has a low chroma, which is associated with the peculiarities of twilight vision.
Events
Rocket launches (from space.skyrocket.de)
- Site: Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, Eastern Test Range, Cape Canaveral, Florida (USA) Vehicle: Falcon-9 v1.2 (Block 5) Payload: Hotbird 13F
- Site: Plesetsk (NIIP-53, GIK-1, GNIIP) (USSR / Russia) Vehicle: Angara-1.2 Payload: Kosmos 2560 (EO-MKA #3 ?, MKA-R ?)
Investigation
Based on its appearance, it is a natural optical phenomenon in the earth's atmosphere in the form of two bright spots of light to the left and right of the sun. Often you can see only one. It belongs to the category of halo phenomena that can be observed when the sun shines through ice crystals, often in the form of cirrus or cirrus-layered clouds.
