“A Manhattan Sunset” is copyrighted by Neil deGrasse Tyson (AMNH). NASA has permission to show it and we don't, so it isn't on this card.
See it on NASA's siteIn Manhattan, twice a year, the setting Sun aligns perfectly with the east-west streets. This creates a dramatic flood of sunlight down the avenues, an event sometimes called 'Manhattanhenge.' The tall buildings usually block the Sun, but on these days, it dips below the horizon right in the middle of the street grid. This alignment is similar to how ancient structures like Stonehenge marked the solstices.
