The celestial phenomenon known as Manhattanhenge returns on Thursday and Friday night, so expect people to stand in the middle of the street so they can take a photo in the two or three minutes when the view is best. If you’re in a car, don’t run them over!

Manhattanhenge is a rare celestial-spiritual phenomenon that occurs when the sun lines up perfectly with Manhattan’s East-West grid. Learn more about it from Neil DeGrasse Tyson here.

On Thursday, Manhattanhenge is set to occur at 8:16 p.m. and on Friday at 8:18 p.m.

Check out some previous Manhattanhenge pics here, and send us yours!
