You'll have to wake up early to see the sun and Earth's aligning moment.
The first Manhattanhenge of the year will soon occur in the Big Apple. The annual phenomenon, during which the sun aligns with the Earth, will light up New York City on Wednesday.
Unlike the natural wonders like Stonehenge in England—during which summer solstice is observed when the sun aligns with the center of the monument—Manhattanhenge doesn't determine anything particularly significant pertaining to weather or seasons. Jackie Faherty, astrophysicist at the American Museum of Natural History, claimed Manhattanhenge sunrise events are harder to determine because the sun rises in the east—a busier side of the city—whereas it sets in the west, facing New Jersey and less obstructed views.
"The thing is with Manhattanhenge sunrise, there is a day and time where it corresponds to the constructed grid of the city," she continued.
