Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book explores the elusive nature of Halos across cultures and disciplines using both scientific and literary/historical lenses. Halos are luminous circles or colored rings that may appear around the sun, moon, or other heavenly bodies. Atmospheric conditions must be just right to form halos, making them a celestial phenomenon both fleeting and beautiful. The author traces these rare occurrences throughout history, from ancient Greek mythology to the present day, showing how people have perceived them as divine omens, artistic inspiration, or scientific curiosities. This book will appeal to readers interested in meteorology, the history of science, art, and mythology.
