Halos
Microsoft's space shooter
Halos is the plural of halo—the ring of light depicted around the heads of saints and holy figures in religious art, suggesting divine radiance or sanctity.
Extended uses include any ring-shaped glow: halos around streetlights in fog, the halos of distant galaxies.
Figuratively, someone's halo slips when they reveal imperfection beneath a virtuous image.
