Twice a year, New Yorkers and photographers get front-row seats to an urban solstice — Manhattanhenge. This dazzling phenomenon happens when the sunset aligns perfectly with the Manhattan street grid, creating a glowing canyon of sunlight between the skyscrapers.
Named by astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson, this event blends science, geometry, and skyline beauty. Be sure to catch it on major cross streets like 42nd or 57th for the best view. Just like Stonehenge honors the solstice, Manhattanhenge is our modern-day city tribute to the cosmos.
