Just a few times during the year guests and residents of New York can observe an unusual and vivid natural phenomenon - Manhattanhenge. On such days, the sun's rays rise and fall right between the high-rises of Manhattan during the dawn and sunset.

To see the Manhattanhenge, you need to know in advance the date and the exact time when the sun will be in a certain position. As a rule, a beautiful picture of the sun setting over the horizon between the high-rises of Manhattan can be admired on May 29 at about eight in the evening, July 11 and 12, and in winter, December 5 and January 8, the most famous star, on the contrary, rises between the buildings.

The unusual term "Manhattanhenge" was coined several years ago. The word came from the name of the English construction of Stonehenge (an ancient complex of earthen and stone structures supposedly being a space observatory).
