Last ‘Manhattanhenge’ Of The Year Occurs Sunday Night

The last ‘Manhattanhenge’ will occur this Sunday, so get ready New York, it’s the last time you’ll be able to see this phenomenon.

You may have heard of Stonehenge, but have you heard of Manhattanhenge?

The term,  created by astrophysicist Neil Degrasse Tyson,  describes the event when the sunset aligns with the city streets of Manhattan in New York. It is derived from the summer solstice at Stonehenge, where the sunset aligns with the stone monument.

On Sunday night, the sunset and streets met up around 8:20 pm for the last occurrence of 2015. The first ‘Manhattanhenge‘ happened on May 29th,  earlier in the year.

Will you be heading out to see this phenomenon?
