'Manhattanhenge' Sunrise Dazzles Onlookers in New York City

New York City’s “Manhattanhenge” sunrise drenched Midtown Manhattan in brilliant light on Wednesday, January 22.

The phenomenon typically occurs at sunset during the spring or summer and happens when the sun “aligns precisely with the Manhattan street grid,” according to astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson. But Wednesday’s Manhattanhenge sunrise gave New Yorkers a special early morning treat.
