Manhattanhenge, the spectacular sunset phenomenon where the setting sun aligns with the grid of New York City, is expected to be obscured by cloudy skies and rain on Wednesday evening. According to meteorologists, viewers are encouraged to wait for Thursday when a clearer sky may allow them to witness the full-sun event. The term 'Manhattanhenge' was coined by astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson in a 1997 article, drawing a parallel between this urban alignment and the ancient astronomical site of Stonehenge.
Manhattanhenge occurs when the sun aligns perfectly with New York City's grid as it sets, creating stunning sunset views for spectators.
Astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson coined the term 'Manhattanhenge' in 1997, inspired by the sun's alignment similar to that of Stonehenge.
