Gunther Können, who has produced a decent number of halo papers, has put his works on-line. These are found in the atmospheric optics section of his web page ( 1 ). Among others, there is an article about subsun on Mars (right photo), as photographed in 2006 by Mars Global Surveyor (left photo). Also, the extensive work on halo systematics, “A general setting for halo theory” by Tape and Können, is available.

From NASA pages I understood that the cassini rainbow is actually and opposition effect.

“эффект противостояния”? не совсем понял как это получается. Что-то вроде глории?
More like a heiligenschein. The color is an image processing artefact.
thank you
The NASA guys had ligned the three RGB photos on the rings, that’s why the colors in heiligenschein as spacecraft was moving. Of course, a true stacker would have aligned on the heiligenschein.
