Description
"Manhattanhenge" by James Venuti
Location: Manhattan, New York City
A scenic view of Manhattanhenge sunset over the New York Skyline along the East River. Manhattanhenge is an event that occurs when the setting sun or the rising sun is aligned with the east to west streets of the main street grid of Manhattan. Astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson said he coined the term by analogy with Stonehenge. The sunsets and sunrises each align twice a year, on dates evenly spaced around the summer and winter solstice. The Manhattan cityscape is great for viewing this remarkable phenomenon due to its extensive urban canyons and rectilinear street grid that is rotated 29° clockwise from true east to west. The best Manhattan streets for viewing include 14th, 23rd, 34th, 42nd, and 57th Streets.
