Photo top: The white spot above the Zeeland-Flandres islands (SW part of Holland) is the subsun, photographed from space by W. Ockels during the ninth and last successful flight of Space Shuttle Challenger, 30 oct – 6 nov 1985. The subsun is a halo. On request of Annemarie Können (12 years old at the time) Ockels chased for halos, with this picture as result. The Netherlands is upside down; the sun blinks yellowish in the Zeeland waters. The subsun is white, as it emerges from reflection on ice crystals which floated high in the atmosphere. Therefore its light had not to traverse through the entire atmosphere.
