Manhattanhenge: A New York City Sunset

NASA APOD · Neil deGrasse Tyson (AMNH)
COSMIC MESSAGE

The Sun sets between skyscrapers, an event known as Manhattanhenge in New York City. Twice a year, the setting Sun aligns precisely with Manhattan's east-west street grid. This creates a dramatic view where the Sun is framed by the tall buildings. It is a modern alignment, similar to ancient structures like Stonehenge.
