The formation of the 22-degree circular halo, a ring of light that forms around the sun, occurs when ice crystals in the cirrus clouds refract and reflect sunlight.
The star, called AG Carinae, is a few million years old and resides 20,000 light-years away inside our Milky Way galaxy. It is estimated to be up to 70 times more massive than our Sun and shines with the blinding brilliance of one million suns.
"Recent reports have raised concerns about the Halo's access to this extensive personal and private health information," the lawmaker wrote in the letter this week.
