Manhattanhenge
Photo by Michael Huitt at West 72nd Street.

Get those cameras ready: Manhattanhenge is back this week! On Monday and Tuesday at 8:20 p.m., the sun is expected to align directly with the street grid and make for some cool shots (if you believe in science).

MONDAY, JULY 11, AT 8:20 PM EDT (FULL SUN)
TUESDAY, JULY 12, AT 8:20 PM EDT (HALF SUN)

The Museum of Natural History is also holding a special presentation on Manhtannehenge on Tuesday night.

If you get a good shot, send it to us at westsiderag at gmail, or tag us on Instagram or Twitter.

Ellen Weinberg Cohen snapped this picture last month at 72nd street — it looks like Manhattanhenge, but it wasn’t on an official Manhattanhenge night.

Our primary goal is to create a safe and respectful space where a broad spectrum of voices can be heard. We welcome diverse viewpoints and encourage readers to engage critically with one another’s ideas, but never at the expense of civility. Disagreement is expected—even encouraged—but it must be expressed with care and consideration. Comments that take cheap shots, escalate conflict, or veer into ideological warfare detract from the constructive spirit we aim to cultivate.

    If I had a wide-angle lens could I could get the photographers?

    Seriously. Is this how bored people have become? Let’s make up some silly faux-astronomical ritual based on…what? Am I missing something here?
