Manhattanhenge — the extraordinary event that occurs in New York City when the sun perfectly aligns with the east-west streets of Manhattan — will soon be visible again, for four evenings only.
At sunset on these four days — May 28 and 29, and July 12 and 13 — the sun will appear to rest on the horizon, framed by the city's iconic skyscrapers, visible from any east-west street. The name "Manhattanhenge" refers to Stonehenge — the Neolithic monument in the UK that was seemingly built to align with the summer solstice.
