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.

When Manhattanhenge happens on a night it's not supposed to happen! ???????? #summersolstice #manhattanhenge #artofvisuals #chasinglight #visualsofstreet #inspirationcultmag #wanderlust #createexplore #streetsofnewyork #fromwhereistand #greatest_shots #igersnyc #igersnewyork #icnewyorkcity #ig_newyorkcity #what_i_saw_in_nyc #justgoshoot #just_newyork #visualsoflife #visualsgang #liveauthentic #city_explore #wildnewyork #newyorkigers #nycprimeshot #nycphotography #mytinyatlas #agameoftones #loves_nyc #rsa_streetview

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?
