Kinds of halos

This page provides information about the most important types of halos and their formation. The identifiers (EE) correspond to the halo key of the AKM. There are other types of halos not listed here, whose formation either cannot yet be fully explained or there are only a few observations. A list of all important types of halos can be viewed and downloaded here . The following overview leads to the halo types that have already been observed in the AKM halo observer network in Central Europe. Just click on one of the images!
