Manhattanhenge is a biannual event where the setting sun aligns with Manhattan's street grid, creating a stunning sunset framed by skyscrapers. Coined by astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson, this phenomenon draws crowds of spectators and photographers. The best viewing spot is on 42nd Street, and it occurs around the summer solstice.
