We define nuclear halo states and present occurrence conditions as function of nucleon numbers and excitation energy. Conjectured implications in astrophysics due to the unusual properties are indicated, e.g. the r-process, the neutron capture rate bridging the gaps at A = 5, 8, the nuclear synthesis and the triple alpha rate. Few-body techniques seems to be indispensable. [References: 17]
