 Halo - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Halos are found in Buddhist sculpture and painting from the Gandharan period, influenced by Greek artists brought to India with the army of Alexander the Great.
Halos, also known as icebows, are also optical phenomena that appear near or around the Sun or Moon, and sometimes near other strong light sources such as street lights.
The halo represents an aura or glow of sanctity which was most prominent around the head and was conventionally drawn as a circle.

 22 Degree Halo: a ring of light 22 degrees from the sun or moon
Halos form when light from the sun or moon is refracted by ice crystals associated with thin, high-level clouds (like cirrostratus clouds).
A 22 degree halo is a ring of light 22 degrees from the sun (or moon) and is the most common type of halo observed and is formed by hexagonal ice crystals with diameters less than 20.5 micrometers.
Most halos appear as bright white rings but in some instances, the dispersion of light as it passes through ice crystals found in upper level cirrus clouds can cause a halo to have color.

 Components of the Galaxy
The halo and the nucleus are also referred to collectively as the spherical component of the galaxy since they have an approximately spherical distribution with respect to the center of the galaxy.
In our own galaxy, the observed rotation of the stars and gas clouds indicates that the visible matter is surrounded by a halo of this dark matter containing the major portion of the total galaxy mass and extending very far beyond the visible matter.
Some indirect means suggest that the dark matter halo may extend as far as 100,000 parsecs from the center of the galaxy.

 Halo: Combat Evolved for PC Review - PC Halo: Combat Evolved Review
Halo is famous for integrating powerful, fun-to-drive vehicles with the on-foot action, and this is what distinguishes its multiplayer component from that of other shooters, though some other PC shooters have also integrated vehicles more or less successfully since the original release of Halo.
Halo for the Xbox has gone on to sell more than 3 million copies worldwide--which isn't proof of the game's superior quality, but certainly is evidence of it.

 TeleFragged -Halo PC
Halo's graphics were considered to be mostly phenomenal way back when the Xbox version was released in late 2001; not only was the engine very competent but the art was distinct and very unique.
One thing that Microsoft insisted on with the PC version of Halo is that the single player experience stay almost exactly the same - except with the new controls, that is, which is enough of a change right there that Halo veterans should give it another play through.
All of the control and interface options in the Xbox version of Halo are present in the PC port, but the obvious new feature here is the inclusion of mouse and keyboard support for aiming.
