Manhattanhenge Minute

For about two months during the spring and summer, the sun traverses the cross streets at or around sunset. 4 days of the year the sun either sits on the horizon directly in the middle of 42nd St (seen here) or is bisected by the horizon. This was dubbed Manhattanhenge. The city always knows when these days are approaching, and at the last second, throngs of people stop to witness this fleeting moment.
