“Manhattanhenge: A New York City 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 siteThe 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.
