New Yorkers, get ready for the latest solar spectacle.<\/p>\n

Each year at the end of May, and again in mid-July, residents and tourists flood the streets of Manhattan for a spectacular view of the sun setting in the west, flanked by the city\u2019s famous streetscapes. Nicknamed Manhattanhenge, the event attracts more people each year, some gathering in crowds so dense they block the streets.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think of it as astronomy in your face,\u201d Jackie Faherty, an astronomer at the American Museum of Natural History who computes the dates for Manhattanhenge each year<\/a>, said in an interview in 2024. \u201cIt\u2019s like a huge science party that will occur in the city.\u201d<\/p>\n

The event\u2019s popularity most likely goes beyond an interest in science, Dr. Faherty added: People love a good photo op, and Manhattanhenge delivers.<\/p>\n
