Details:
I took this image of a remarkable Sun halo. It's not an uncommon sight except for the first time, I saw the standard 22° halo and another circle, the circumference of which crossed the Sun at the centre of the 22° halo. It is to the left in these images, corresponding to the west of the Sun in the sky. These photos of the spectacle was taken at 10:36AM and 10:38AM using two different cameras on my cellphone.
What is the name of that second circle? Is there such a thing as a circumzenithal circle? It was easily visible to the naked eye and not a result of reflection within the camera.
