For anyone in the NYC area, Manhattanhenge is 8:17pm today, if you can brave the heat.

Twice a year, the setting sun is in position to shine exactly along the parallel streets, between the buildings. It's a beautiful sight, and something that you'd otherwise have to travel to Stonehenge or Chichen Itza to see.

Cool! I was just in New York...I probably could have seen a partial Manhattanhenge if I had known to look for it. Maybe next time...WiseOne wrote: For anyone in the NYC area, Manhattanhenge is 8:17pm today, if you can brave the heat.
