- 🗓️ Manhattanhenge is a phenomenon occurring when the setting sun aligns with the east-west orientation of Manhattan streets.
- 🌇 This year's event begins Wednesday, with the half sun visible around 8:13 PM, and the full sun on Thursday around the same time.
Optimal Viewing Conditions and Locations
- 📍 The best viewing spots are on wide streets like 34th Street or 57th Street, looking east towards the horizon.
- 🌆 For the best view, aim for streets further east, such as around 10th Avenue, to see the sun set between buildings.
Weather Forecast for Viewing
- ☁️ Wednesday night is predicted to have cloud cover and rain, making it a poor night for viewing the half sun event.
- ☀️ Thursday night offers a better chance for viewing the full sun, despite some lingering clouds.
- 🌇 The sun will be setting at 8:12 PM on Thursday, providing a more significant spectacle between the buildings.
