What is Manhattanhenge?
Manhattanhenge occurs when the sun appears to set perfectly between buildings in the New York City skyline. The spectacle takes place on four nights per year.
The scene typically draws large crowds of photographers and other spectators hoping to get a perfect shot of the setting sun surrounded by buildings.
A similar phenomenon, known as "Reverse Manhattangenge," occurs during the winter when the sunrise lines up with the grid.
