COSMIC MESSAGE
If the sky is clear, New Yorkers can witness 'Manhattanhenge,' where the setting Sun aligns perfectly with the city's street grid. This phenomenon occurs twice a year, turning Manhattan into a modern version of Stonehenge. The tall buildings usually obscure the Sun, but on these specific days, the streets are dramatically flooded with sunlight as the Sun descends.
