    New Yorkers clogged major East-West arteries on Wednesday night hoping to get a clear shot of Manhattanhenge, the rare celestial-spiritual phenomenon that occurs when the sun lines up perfectly with Manhattan’s East-West grid. Some of them came away with great shots.

    Thanks to everyone who sent in photos, or gave us permission to print them. A few of the best are below:
