Manhattanhenge starts tonight!
Manhattanhenge, the alignment of the setting sun on certain streets in Manhattan begins tonight (weather permitting) according to Hayden Planetarium boss man Neil deGrasse Tyson who, besides hating Pluto (we kid because we love), has created a handy webpage so you the scientific noob can experience this wonderously cool event:
For Manhattan, a place where evening matters more than morning, that special day comes twice a year. For 2012 they fall on May 29th, and July 12th, when the setting Sun aligns precisely with the Manhattan street grid, creating a radiant glow of light across Manhattan's brick and steel canyons, simultaneously illuminating both the north and south sides of every cross street of the borough's grid. A rare and beautiful sight.
Head over to the Planetarium website for more on this cool and free event. You just bring the camera.
