New York City residents take in the twice-yearly solar alignment known as “Manhattanhenge,” a term coined by astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson for when the setting sun aligns itself with the east-west grid of streets in Manhattan, allowing the sun to shine down all streets at the same time.

People crowd onto 42nd Street as they take photos of the “Manhattanhenge” phenomenon in the Manhattan borough of New York City, July 11, 2014.
