Manhattanhenge 2022| at Manhattan East 34 street | Spectacular Summer Solstice | New York City

Manhattanhenge is a rare event during which the setting sun or the rising sun is aligned with the east-west streets of the main street grid of Manhattan, New York City. This term was first coined byThe astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson. In the year 2002, on the Natural History, he has beautifully explained about this event with of some spectacular photo shots.The term Manhattanhenge is a reference to Stonehenge, a prehistoric monument located in Wiltshire, England, which was constructed so that the rising sun, seen from the center of the monument at the time of the summer solstice, aligns with the outer "Heel Stone". Manhattan is a city based on rectangular grid like planned structure.In accordance with the Commissioners' Plan of 1811, the street grid for most of Manhattan is rotated 29° clockwise from true east-west.Thus, when the azimuth for sunset is 299° (i.e., 29° north of due West), the sunset aligns with the streets on that grid. This rectilinear grid design runs from north of Houston Street in Lower Manhattan to south of 155th Street (Manhattan) in Upper Manhattan.
A more impressive visual spectacle, and the one commonly referred to as Manhattanhenge, occurs a couple of days after the first such date of the year, and a couple of days before the second date, when a pedestrian looking down the centerline of the street westward toward New Jersey can see the full solar disk slightly above the horizon and in between the profiles of the buildings.[1] The date shifts are due to the sunset time being when the last of the sun just disappears below the horizon.
The sunset point actually creeps day to day along the horizon: northward until the first day of summer, then returning southward until the first day of winter.
On the equinoxes: the first day of spring and of autumn. Every other day, the Sun rises and sets elsewhere on the horizon. Had Manhattan's grid been perfectly aligned with the geographic north-south line, then the days of Manhattanhenge would coincide with the equinoxes. But Manhattan's street grid is rotated 30 degrees east from geographic north, shifting the days of alignment elsewhere into the calendar. This event can be seen from
