Photographers Line Up For Manhattanhenge
Manhattanhenge is a phenomenon also known as the Manhattan Solstice. Photographers in New York watch for it twice a year, at the end of May and in the middle of July. This is when the setting sun aligns 3 itself perfectly 4 with the east-west streets of Manhattan. Before it sets, the full sun is viewable in between skyscrapers 5 at the end of many streets on the city’s grid 6 just above the horizon. The term “Manhattanhenge” was coined by a New Yorker named Neil deGrasse Tyson who visited Stonehenge as a child. The phenomenon compares to Stonehenge in England. When viewed from the centre of the monument, the rising sun aligns with the Heel Stone on the summer solstice. After coining the term, the astrophysicist published the exact dates and times for New Yorkers to see it. Photographers have risked their lives to get the perfect shot of Manhattanhenge. Other cities that are built on a grid like New York experience a similar phenomenon.
